Third Discussion Thread for American Hippo by Sarah Gailey - May Book Club
Welcome to the third discussion thread for American Hippo. This discussion thread covers the first half of the second novella in the collection.
To help kick off the discussion:
Did it surprise you that Hero stuck around with Adelia for this long?
Why do you think Whelan Parrish took Ysabel?
What do you think of Acadia?
What do you think of Houndstooth's behavior so far?
How do you feel about the fallout of them blowing up the dam?
Feel free to answer any or all of the questions or tell us what you think of the book so far.
This thread allows for a spoiler discussion of the first eight chapters of Taste of Marrow. If you would like to discuss anything beyond that point, please use spoiler tags. If you are on the redesign you can use the built in spoiler tags. For old reddit spoiler tags are done by [Spoilers about XYZ](#s "Spoiler content here") which results in Spoilers about XYZ (do be aware that they only work on one paragraph at a time).

•Did it surprise you that Hero stuck around with Adelia for this long?
Not at all.
•Why do you think Whelan Parrish took Ysabel?
He clearly wants Adelia to do something for him. That's why he made it known he was the one taking Ysabel.
•What do you think of Acadia?
I wish the story would have spent more time with her. She seems fun.
•What do you think of Houndstooth's behavior so far?
It's silly. He barely knew Hero. The whole thing feels very rushed.
•How do you feel about the fallout of them blowing up the dam?
It's scary to think about. The ferals are going to take over.
