Maybe I shouldn’t ask them, but they did have a choice. And there’s no reason why they should prioritise it, but two of them do, which is lovely.
Some find it difficult to read the early chapters which seem semi autobiographical to them. Others have other things to do first and may never get around to reading. It’s okay.
One opted out of the reading group, knowing full well that she wouldn’t have the interest or motivation to follow through on the commitment. I think I prefer this to the ones who think they want to, but don’t actually.
But it’s early days. We’re only up to chapter 4. I guess they might catch up…?
