Discussion Questions
Use our LitLovers Book Club Resources; they can help with discussions for any book:

How to Discuss a Book (helpful discussion tips)
Generic Discussion Questions—Fiction and Nonfiction
Read-Think-Talk (a guided reading chart)

Also consider these LitLovers talking points to help get a discussion started for 'Tis the Season:

1. Does Caro remind you of anyone in the society news? Do you think Landvik does a fair job of portraying a young, rich heiress, drugged out and alienated? Are we to sympathize with or judge Caro? Or what...?

2. Does the paparazzi play a role in creating Caro's behavior? In other words, is the press's role exploitative or informative? Can fame come too early for someone to handle?

3. Who needs whom in this story?

4. Were you expecting what happens at the ranch? Was the ending predictable...or surprising?

5. Did you find Landvik's format—emails and excerpts from gossip columns—helpful in telling the story? Were they clever or distracting for you?

6. In what way does this book reinforce (or not) the meaning of Christmas?
