Without the fly fishing, the book would have worked well, but the title will be replaced by anything that is related to the strongest theme of the book.bookowlie wrote: ↑06 Feb 2018, 00:04 In my opinion, this book is first and foremost a story of friendship, with the sport of fly fishing as an accompanying theme. Would the story have worked as well without the fly fishing? For example, what if the women became friends through a book club or and then sometimes had girls' weekends away? I think the fly fishing get-togethers at the cabin were more than just friends hanging out. The setting was very serene and it gave each of the women a chance to relax and recharge. Being outdoors and fishing was a calming experience for them.

Sure, there must always be something that will pull friends together. Sharing the same interest or having a common story to tell are some examples and in this case, fly fishing was it.crediblereading2 wrote: ↑17 Apr 2018, 23:04 Yes, it would have worked well without fly fishing, however, there must be a common interest to pull the girls together.

True, the main theme is friendship and fly fishing served the purpose of bonding them.

Nice point there. Taking their stories out and placing them in a different setting would for sure not change their story as long as they share a common interest or were capable of adapting to this setting.Vivianne Nat wrote: ↑09 Apr 2018, 06:32 I believe it would have worked differently though the thought of the fly fishing didn't really matter much. As what you guys said in previous posts, take the story of the characters out the book and land them on different place and their own stories would actually still be the same. It revolved around the idea of friendship hence i believed, it would still live on without the fly fishing thingy.

The fly fishing adds flavor to this story
