1. One new idea from book club is we sort of figured out when the time period was. We inferred that IM was before text messaging and text messaging was in about 2015. That means IM was in about 2007-2012ish.

2. The most interesting part of my book is when Griff started acting two-faced. He was being amazingly nice and well behaved to Eric’s mom but he started being mean when she left.

3. In discussion next time I can grow as a collaborator by not talking out too much. Even though I apologized right away I sometimes messed up peoples train of thought but sometimes gave them more thoughts and ideas.
