Is this Survivor, The Bachelor, or Shark Tank? How would the characters play the game?
Which moment made you want to throw the book across the room? Could you have done better?
Did a plot twist fall flat? Did the romance feel forced? Rewrite history—what should have happened?
Would the villain make a better hero? Would the sidekick outshine the protagonist? Play literary musical chairs.
