Our book club in Denver got into a huge fight over the ending of 'The Goldfinch' and I accidentally called the host's take 'morally bankrupt' after my third glass of wine.
Has anyone else had a book club debate get that heated, and how do you smooth things over for the next meeting?

What exactly was the host's take that got called morally bankrupt?

The host basically argued that people struggling to afford food should just stop buying coffee and avocado toast. It's a tired take that ignores how real life works for most folks. How can you blame someone's empty fridge on a five dollar latte when rent costs two thousand a month? That kind of thinking lets the actual problems, like low wages, completely off the hook. It's easier to point fingers at small joys than fix a broken system.
