First-Time Caller

At the start of the book, why has Lucie closed herself off to love and romantic relationships?

Could you relate to Lucie's lament when Maya first called her in to Hearstrings? What would you have told Lucie if you were on the line with her?

Have you ever called into a radio show?

Why did Lucie say yes to being on the show on a regular basis? Would you have done the same in her shoes?

Are you currently or have you recently been dating? Is it as rough as Lucie finds it to be?

Lucie, Maya, Grayson and Mateo are an unconventional family, but a loving one. What was your favorite part of their dynamic?

Aiden has built up defenses to keep himself from getting hurt. What problems does this coping mechanism cause him?

Everyone seems to figure out that Aiden and Lucie have a thing for each other before they do (not just their friends, family and coworkers, but what seemed to be the entire city of Baltimore). Why do you think it took them so long to realize their feelings?

Have you ever gone viral for anything? Would you want to?

What do you think Aiden saw in Lucie, and vice versa? Were you rooting for them as a couple?

Aiden is reluctant to give a relationship with Lucie a try, and he hurts her in the process. If you were Lucie, would you have been able to forgive him?
