Introduction

Brimming with heart and heat, Rules for Second Chances explores the hardest relationship question of all: can true love happen twice...with the same person?

Liz Lewis has tried everything to be what people want. But she’s always been labeled different from everyone else in the boisterous world of wilderness expeditions?that is, if anyone notices her at all. Her marriage to popular adventure guide Tobin Renner-Lewis is a sinkhole of toxic positivity where she’s the only one saying no. In a mountain resort town built around excitement, introverted Liz gets…spreadsheets.

When she gets mistaken for a server at her own thirtieth birthday party and her last line of communication with Tobin finally snaps, Liz vows to stop playing a minor character in her own life. The (incredibly well-researched and scientific) plan? A crash course in confidence…via improv comedy class.

The catch? She’s terrible at it, and the only person willing to practice with her is a certain extroverted wilderness guide who seems dead set on saving their marriage one bonkers improv scenario at a time. But as Liz and Tobin get closer (...again), she’s forced to confront all the reasons they didn’t work the first time, along with her growing suspicion that there might be more to her social awkwardness than anyone realized. Liz has just eight weeks to learn improv’s most important lesson?"yes, and"?or she’ll have to choose between the love she always wanted and the dreams that got away.

Discussion Questions

From the publisher:

1. Liz considers herself an introvert. Do you think it’s possible for an introvert to become more comfortable in an extroverted world through an extroversion “boot camp” like the one Liz designed for herself?

2. At the beginning of the book, Liz and Tobin’s marriage has very little true intimacy. What does intimacy mean to you? How does intimacy look different in partnerships, friendships, and families?

3. At the beginning of the book, Tobin struggles with “toxic positivity” — the belief that no matter how bad a situation is, people should stay upbeat. Have you or someone you know gone too far with positivity, to the point of damaging relationships?

4. How did listening to the audiobook impact your experience of the story and your perspective of the characters?
