  ENHANCE YOUR BOOK CLUB

  1. ReShonda Tate Bilingsley has a knack for exposing her characters’ deepest flaws—but shows that there’s always a path to redemption. Select another title from her collection to read with your book club. Compare and contrast the flaws of the characters with What’s Done in the Dark and analyze through what devices the author communicates these traits.

  2. Was there a time in your life when you needed to forgive someone? What about forgiving yourself? During your next book club meeting, ask everyone to share an experience with forgiveness and how it helped bring them peace (or regret).

  3. Steven’s heart condition, which ultimately led to tragedy, set off the majority of events in What’s Done in the Dark. Support heart health awareness by scheduling a physical with your doctor or collecting donations from your book club to give to the American Heart Association.

  4. It’s book club happy hour! Serve virgin margaritas and piña coladas at your next meet-up for a fun, festive treat—sans booze and bad decision-making.
