When writing The Real Deal, I wanted to delve into a strange dichotomy that exists in our culture...it is that no matter how attractive a person is, there is still a tendency to see oneself as flawed. Both Simon and Amanda are incredible people, but they can't see past former failures to that truth. This book is about two people growing toward both self-acceptance and the ability to give and receive love freely. Lucy Monroe Asks: Do you think Amanda made the right decision following Simon to his island to try to convince him of the merger? Why, or why not? Do you think Simon's concerns for his employees are justified? Why, or why not? If you were Amanda, would you have agreed to be a sparring partner with Simon? If so, how would you have responded when he didn't follow through on the almost-kiss? At what point in the book do you think Amanda starts living for herself and not her job? What do you think the most important thing was that Amanda learned about herself? And Simon?Book Club Recommendations
