A Clean Slate | Book Club Questions

1. One of the themes of the novel is the concept that our lives are always ours to remake. Why does it take a memory loss for Kelly to realize that? Where do you see her in five years? ten years?
2. Do you agree with Kelly's decision to cut off her relationship with Ben? What do you think will happen with she and Sam?
3. Did you fault Laney when she admitted that she had, in a way, enjoyed it when Kelly was depressed? Have you ever experienced a time when you felt needed and important during a crisis experienced by a friend or family member?
4. Is Kat's sunny personality, hard partying and 'man-eating' hiding something more than just the incident with her step-father? What do you think the future holds for Kat?
5. Were you surprised by Cole's revelation of why he had been blacklisted from the New York fashion world? Do you think he will permanently revive his career? What do you think of he and Laney together?
6. How did the death of Kelly's sister, along with the loss of Ben and her job combine with her physical condition to cause her memory loss? Do you think the physical was more instrumental in the memory loss than the psychological?
7. What would you do if you found yourself in Kelly's situation and your life was suddenly a clean slate?
