Death, Taxes, and Peach Sangria

Fun Notes

1)  In Death, Taxes, and Peach Sangria, Tara and her friends enjoy several pitchers of homemade peach sangria, made with Nick’s mother’s private recipe. Are you a sexy and sophisticated Cosmo drinker like the women from Sex and the City? Or do you prefer something fun and fruity like a strawberry daiquiri or piña colada? Maybe you’re a tough broad who can toss back the hard stuff. What’s your favorite type of drink and what does it say about you?

2)  In the novel, Nick, Josh, and Lu sign up for an online dating service. Have you or someone you know tried online dating? What are the pros and cons of this modern way of meeting? Do you have any funny online dating mishaps to share?

3)  Tara and the other agents purse several abusive tax preparers, many of which use cheesy gimmicks to attract clients. What are some of the cheesiest gimmicks you’ve seen a business use to attract clients or sell products? 

4)  In the book, Tara and Alicia consult a psychic. Do you believe that some people have a gift of prophecy, or is it all bunk?

5)  Tara’s best friend, Alicia, moves in with Tara after a falling out with her boyfriend. What makes for a good roommate? What makes for a bad roommate? Any roommate horror stories to share?

6)  Jealous, Tara does her best to derail Nick’s dates.  Is all truly fair in love and war? Or is it wrong to try to throw a monkey wrench in someone else’s relationship because you want that person for yourself?
