1. Aspen mentions she always felt like Meredith's sidekick in the past, which contributed to their eventual falling out. Have you ever had a rift with a friend? How did it happen, and what is your relationship like now?
2. Are you familiar with "momfluencers"? What kind of content do you see online? How do you feel when you see content about "mom life"?
3. Aspen mentioned that no one is interested in the real Aspen—the sweaty, messy mom that she really is, and that people only want to see Aspirational Aspen. Do you think this is true?
4. Have you ever wanted to be an influencer? If so, in what category?
5. What role has social media played in your life? Do you think it's been a positive or negative experience overall?
6. How do you organize your life—do you have packed schedules like Aspen and utilize digital calendars?
7. After reading this book, what are your takeaways from it regarding influencer culture?
8. Do you think Ben deserved what he got? Were you surprised at the conclusion?
9. Who can you empathize with the most in the book? Do you think there is one "good guy" in the book?
10. Is there anyone in your social circle who you think might do something like what Meredith did and steal their friend's family iPad to get ahead?
