StarMan (thestarman) | 1942 comments This book will make you want to cover up the camera on your laptop computer. Wait... I already do that!

Hope y'all enjoy this one. It's also in our "Buddy Reads" selections. I've read it (didn't love it, but didn't hate it). An interesting vision of a very near-future.

StarMan (thestarman) | 1942 comments DISCUSSION QUESTIONS (pick 1 or more if you wish):

1. Did you identify with the main character, Mae? Why or why not?

2. How close are we to a world like the one in THE CIRCLE?

3. Were you surprised by any plot twists?

4. What would you have changed if you were writing the story?

5. Why is social media compelling to some people, in spite of certain risks/dangers?

While I'm not ready to answer these questions yet, I hope to get back to them! Great thoughtful questions, StarMan! ;-)
