A Readers Group Guide for
Can You Believe (in The Holiday Inn anthology)
Use these questions - along with your own - to guide your personal reflection or
Book Club discussion around Can You Believe.
(1) An old saying asserts that “The day before your wedding reflects like a mirror the marriage that will
follow.” (That is, if the day before your wedding is wonderful and blissful, your relationship will follow suit.
If your pre-wedding day is awful, well your marriage will be, too.) What about first anniversaries? How
much power do you think the first twelve months of marriage have over the rest of a couple’s life together?
(2) In today’s economy, would you financially support a spouse/partner like Naymond?
(3) Do you think there’s more to the Eva and Naymond situation than he told Fallon?
(4) If you were in Fallon’s shoes, what would you believe about Naymond?
(5) Would you make a good celebrity spouse/partner?
(6) If your spouse/partner hit the lottery today (be that literally or in terms of a dream career, etc.) what
would be your most difficult adjustment?
(7) If you could ask for – and receive – a glimpse into the future, what would you want to see?
(8) Have you ever regretted getting something you wished for?
(9) Do you think Naymond and Fallon are headed for happily ever after?
