Reader’s Guide

He’s with the Band Reader’s Guide

Discussion Questions:

1. Campbell makes some pretty dramatic decisions at the beginning of the book. Can you imagine doing anything similar?
2. When Vince and Campbell meet again for the first time, neither seems to know what to make of the other.  Marissa picks up on their chemistry right away. Were you surprised at Campbell’s about face where Vince was concerned?
3. Campbell’s intent to join the tour was to make a different choice than she did all those years ago, but in the end, she changes her mind. Should Campbell have slept with Davis?
4. There are many moments in this book that involve concerts. Do you agree with Campbell’s description of seeing music live?
5. Vince is leery to have Campbell do a deep dive into the band, and even goes so far as to give her the questions he wants asked.  Were you cheering for Campbell when she went her own way, even though it alienated Vince?
6. Vince isn’t one to let his emotions show, but yet he cares deeply for those in his circle.  Describe your favorite Vince is a softie moment.  
7. The men of Golden Tiger are overgrown teenagers. Who did you love the most?
8. Is there a song or a genre that is your go to when you are feeling out of sorts?
9. What is the first concert you ever went to?
10. What band would you give up your life to follow (if you could live in the fictional world where that is possible.)?
