The Rome Affair

1. What did you think of what Rachel did in Rome? Can traveling somehow open up a person and make them consider things they wouldn't in their own country?
2. Have you ever found yourself jealous, though you know you shouldn't be, of a friend? How does one handle it when friends' lives take them down very different paths than one's own? What if those seem paths like successes compared to yours?
3. Are there friends close enough that you'd "bury the body" for them? Is that a good thing unequivocally? What if you discovered, in the worst possible circumstances, that your friend didn't feel the same loyalty toward you?
