Rock Paper Scissors Book Club

In this book club episode of Literature on the Rocks, Sunny, Rachel, and Rox return to the twisty world of Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney for a discussion that goes far beyond the shocking ending. We talk about Adam's diagnosis and whether it changed the way we viewed his actions throughout the story. Did it make us more empathetic toward him, less empathetic, or did it simply complicate an already messy situation? We also dive into the masks we wear in everyday life. Are we the same person with our partners, friends, family, and coworkers? And who, if anyone, gets to see our most authentic selves? Finally, we explore one of the book's biggest themes: perspective. When we're evaluating a conflict or situation, are we truly seeing all sides of the story, or just the version that's easiest for us to understand? Full spoilers, thoughtful conversations, and plenty of moments that had us reexamining our first impressions. Grab a drink and join us. 🥂
