FREE-FALLING by Nicola Moriarty Format: Trade Paperback ISBN: 9781742752594 Imprint: Bantam Australia Released in February 2012

Reading Group Questions 1. Early on in the book, Stacey describes the Stages of grief which she believes Belinda has progressed through in just one night. Did you see the characters actually experience these stages throughout the course of the book?

2. A recurring theme throughout the book is the notion of free-falling. Could you pinpoint
other moments (apart from skydiving) where the characters were metaphorically freefalling within their lives? 3. How did you feel when Belinda kissed Bazza just one day after Andy had died? Could you empathize with her or did you find her choices reprehensible? 4. Did you see a change in Evelyns character throughout the book? Could you choose a defining moment where her personality shifted? 5. Which character would you relate to the most in the book? Could you draw comparisons between a friend or family member and one of the characters? For example, do you have a friend like Stacey?! 6. Were you surprised to read a chapter from Andys point of view? How did you feel about meeting him just before he died? 7. Did you think that the girl in Perth sent the text message to Bazza because of Andys supernatural influence, or do you prefer to think of it as just a coincidence? 8. Did you want Belinda and James to end up in a relationship together? Or were you happier to see her with Bazza? 9. The story of Free-Falling spans several genres, tragedy, romance, supernatural. Could you choose one main genre that you would class Free-Falling in?
