When casual groups develop unexpected intimacy

My book club started as a fun social thing but over two years it's become this space where we actually talk about deep personal stuff and now some people want to keep it light while others want to go deeper. We're all afraid to name what's happening because we might lose the magic or exclude people who want different things.
