- So the narrative is unique. We have three perspectives, two in the past and one in the present even though there are five women on the show. What did you think of this writing style? Why do you think Knoll limited the perspectives to Brett, Stephanie and Kelly?
- As you read the book, which character did you like the most (if any)? Did that change at the end?
- We slowly learn that each character is lying about something. These women invent lies to make themselves more interesting or they lie to survive. Why do you think they all felt such a need to lie? Which lie do you think was the worst?
- Are you a reality TV show watcher? Which shows? What did you think of the behind the scenes look at making reality TV?
- Goal Diggers originally was supposed to show the bond of self-made successful women but ended up pitting them against each other. Why do you think society always goes to that narrative (women against women)?
- Knoll presents different ideas of feminism and argues that women say they support each other but in the end will backstab one another to get ahead. Do you agree with this? How can women work to change this?
- We know Brett is murdered and that Kelly isn’t innocent but we don’t know how it happened. What were some of your theories to begin with and did it at all align with what actually happened?
- Did you think that the tension between Brett and Stephanie was because they had an affair? What did you think when it was revealed Brett was actually straight?
- Stephanie and Vince also meet their end but what do you think was her ultimate goal there? Was she going to take everyone out if she got the chance?
- Self perception, betrayal and lies are huge themes. What else did you pick up on?
- What’s next for the characters who are still alive? Do you think the truth about what really happened to Brett will ever get out?
