Some Not-So-Glamorous questions for your Glamorous book club

• Life is full of dilemmas and Charity is certainly no stranger to them. So, let’s kick off this book club by exploring the funnest, sexiest dilemma in Charity’s life – Kai. Should she have dated / slept with this hunk earlier?

  Let’s Get Personal:Would you or have you ever had a workplace romance / hookup? Spill it: Is it fun to sneak around?

• Charity finds herself getting sabotaged by Saffron time and time again. Do you think Charity should have spoken to Casper about it? Or is this a case of simple workplace competition?

  Let’s Get Personal:We’ve all worked with someone awful – any fun stories?

• Another dilemma Charity faces is whether she should sell her script to Henry (the least creative person ever to work in a creative field) or to keep working with Albana in the hopes of getting funding for her movie. Sure, it all worked out, but it almost ended with Charity as a complete failure. Would you have sold the script to Henry sooner? Did Charity take too much risk here?

  Let’s Get Personal:How much risk have you taken for your career. Did it work out?

• The Soundtrack of your life: Each chapter title is a pop culture reference, be it a song, TV show or film that represents the emotion or plot. If you could pick a song, a film or TV show to represent your life, what would it be?

• The book is told through Charity’s point of view. Did you ever question her take on things? Is Charity Trickett a reliable narrator?

• Charity Trickett is Not So Glamorous takes place in the ’90s. Do you think it was easier or harder being a celebrity back then vs. today?

• Charity says, “It’s like Kai has seen my perfect-man checklist and has made it his mission to lick all my boxes. I mean, tick all my boxes.” Is it a good idea to have a list of qualities for your ideal person? Or does that get in the way of finding the one?

  Let’s Get Personal:What would be on your perfect-person checklist?

• Seeing as this is a book about Hollywood, who would you cast in the film adaptation?
