Book Club for Introverts discussion

This book has chapter names rather than numbered chapters so look for the chapter names in the topic. I'll be grouping 3-4 chapters together in each topic.

I’m holding out hope for Daunt and Rita. It’s funny that they think they can make themselves fall out of love with each other. Vaughn must tell his wife the truth. Who’s child is the girl??? Is she Lily’s and Victor’s???

I'm really hoping she isn't Lily's and Victor's. Lily has been through so much already. I loathe Victor.

There are so many characters with such heart-breaking pasts, and I hope (and I really do feel like) some of their sorrows will be resolved before this book ends. Mr. Armstrong is such a strong and gentle figure, and his story was such a sad one. His attitude toward his upbringing was admirable, and it's almost like you can just feel his pain at having a son who is disappointing him.

The pig story is just cracking me up. Every time I come across the Maud the Pig part of this novel, I just laugh to myself. It seems so out of place in the book, so I hope it's something really good when the significance is finally revealed.

Lastly.....Mrs. Armstrong and the seeing-eye. How strong-willed she must be to not use that ability in her everyday life. I would imagine it would be quite frightening to get a peek into people's true selves in life, though.

Mrs. Armstrong and her seeing-eye was such an interesting idea. I don't think I could live with seeing all of that either. I really liked Mr. Armstrong after learning about his past and felt so bad for him knowing why he poured so much into Robin.
