3. Cooper’s sister, Nicole, takes it upon herself to invite extra people to Heather and Cooper’s wedding because she feels the guest list is “unbalanced” in favor of the groom, and that Heather needs to make amends with her estranged mother. What would you do if someone invited guests you had not asked yourself to your wedding?

4. Heather’s wedding planner, Perry, refuses to return their calls after Heather has to cancel an appointment with her. Would you ever use a wedding planner to organize your special day? What would you do if you couldn’t get ahold of your wedding planner that close to your wedding?

5. Two people in the book are keeping their relationship a secret. But Heather discovers the truth. Have you ever had a secret relationship? Why did it have to be a secret? If not, how hard do you think it would be to keep your relationship a secret from the world?

6. One character's social media habits prove deadly. In this day and age, anything and everything can end up on the Internet. Do you post on social media websites regularly? How do you decide what is safe to post and what should remain private?

How do you feel about this kind of “oversharing”?

7. When you encounter as many dangerous criminals as Heather, being able to defend yourself is important!

Do you think it is important for women to know self defense?

8. Heather wears a tea length wedding dress for her big day. What kind of wedding dress did you wear? If you’re not married, what would your dream wedding dress look like?
