ABOUT THIS GUIDE
The following questions are intended to enhance your groups reading of CREEPING WITH THE ENEMY.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. Chanti is often her own worst frenemy. Sometimes her ability to think like a cop keeps her looking one step ahead, so she misses out on whats happening right now, and overanalyzing situations until she reads into them the wrong meaning. This causes problems in her detective work and in her personal life, as they do with Marco. Do you ever sabotage yourself or your friendships this way? 2. Bethanie feels like shes living her dads life instead of her own. Have you ever followed a certain path (like planning to be a doctor) or doing an activity (like playing basketball) because thats what your parents want, even though you have zero interest in it? If you could tell your parents what you really feel without them freaking out, what would you say? 3. Chanti says she doesnt feel one way or the other about her father because he was so out of the picture that its like he never existed. Do you think she really feels this way in her heart of hearts? 4. Cole is a little too mysterious for Chanti, who immediately suspects he isnt who he claims to be. Shes a detective-wannabe so suspicion comes naturally to her.

ing Bethanie will do it anyway and at least shell be in contact with Bethanie. How would you respond to a friend who put you in Chantis position? 6. Chanti tells Marco he has to accept her the way she issleuthing and alleven though it may cost her their relationship. Its true you shouldnt change who you are just to land your crush, but being in a relationship also means compromise. The question is how much do you give up? On this point, are you Team Marco or Team Chanti? 7. When it comes to the truth about Chantis father, it sounds like Lana has been holding out on Chanti to protect her. Sometimes withholding information about something important is like a lie. Is it okay to lie by omissioneven if its something majorif youre doing it to protect someone? Or do they have a right to know and decide for themselves what to do with the information?
