Book Club Questions
Some food for thought
What do you do when you feel angry? Do you express it, or keep it hidden? Are you able to control it? What consequences do you face after getting angry and showing it?
Do you relate to any of the women in the book? Which one(s), and why?
Harry and her friends object when a man uses the word “bitch.” But “the b-word” has become commonly used by men and women alike. Who, if anyone, do you think has the right to use this word, and why?
Beast Mom blends and borrows from several literary genres. If you had to describe it to a friend, what would you say?
When the story ends, some questions are left unanswered. Would you read a sequel to the story, if one were to come out? Why or why not? Did you find the ending satisfying?
Harry and her husband Theo both show signs of depression. Does their experience of depression ring true to you?
Did you change your mind about anything, as a result of reading the book?
What was you favorite scene? What was your least favorite scene?
It’s important to Harry that women support one another—and connect with one another—in ways big and small? Do you think this is realistic to do in real life? Why or why not?
