I am grateful when publishers provide such useful book club kits. This is a particularly complete and helpful one. I hope for more like this!

I have to say, I disliked Such a Fun Age. While it was entertaining enough to keep me reading, I was relieved when it was finally over. The story tackles important themes around race and privilege, and I guess I was just not in the mood to read that.
The characters, particularly Emira, had potential, but I found them lacking. The plot felt somewhat disjointed and left me confused about its overall message. It’s a book that tries to address serious topics but ends up feeling superficial at times. If you’re looking for something thought-provoking, this may not be the best choice for you.

The author interview is super interesting, the questions are very engaging and the cocktail recipes are super fun! Definitely recommend as a Book Club Kit!

i found this book club kit very insightful! i think it would prove to be quite useful in a bookclub setting since the questions can open up a lot of discussions between the readers. i also enjoyed the interview with the author, it helped me better understand the thought-process behind this novel.

I loved this book so much and it was so fun to have this add on. Such a great book and I love this author so much. Gave me such a new perspective.

Book Club Kits are great to use when opening dialogues among friends. This book club kit has discussion questions as well as a Q&A with the author.

I appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Fantastic kit for use in book club meetings. We struggle with discussing the book (we usually say a few worked about it and then start chatting about anything in general) and this will help us to stay on track.

This Book Club Kit would make a great companion to Such a Fun Age which I read a couple of years ago now. I thought both the discussion questions and the interview with Kiley Reid would be a spark for some really interesting conversations surrounding this book and I liked the fact that so many questions were included. The kit was nice to look through and I liked that the formatting and colours of the kit matched the cover of the book.

My favourite elements of this kit were the more interactive elements for example I liked that cocktail recipes were included which relate to the two protagonists. These activities would make a book club meeting more fun and could provide some light relief from some of the more serious themes and topics explored in this novel and consequently in the discussion questions and interviews in this kit.

I read this book last year and have been debating submitting it for book club, so this was a fun find on NetGalley! I really love the interview with the author, and how she talks about the emotional intelligence of children. It gives the book extra depth, and I am so glad I read it!

Really a great resource to go along with the book. Definitely a guide to tackle the issues tackled in the book. Enjoyed everything thoroughly.

This was a fun accompaniment to the novel. Recently discussed in book club, the discussion points were useful, as were tidbits from the interview with the author.

This is perfect for a book club! Such a Fun Age is a book that everyone still discussed, and this book club kit is helpful in keeping the discussion alive. Perfect for anyone hosting a book club.

I’m late to doing a book review but I constantly still think about this book and how I could vividly see several scenes in my head. The grocery store scene is something I think about a lot still.

This was one of those books that just had me in my feelings. The subject matter was a little heavy for me but it kept the book interesting. Stories like this tend to bring out all kinds of emotions in me. This was a book that I had to put down and pick back up a few times but it was a good read.

Kiley Reid’s "Such a Fun Age" is a literary journey that gently lures you in with its light and breezy narrative, only to reveal the profound depths it explores. With a deceptively cute cover and engaging writing style, the book holds a mirror to societal constructs and personal motivations, much like a modern-day reflection on themes reminiscent of "The Help" but set in the context of contemporary complexities.

At the heart of the narrative are two women, Emira Tucker and Alix Chamberlain, whose lives intersect in unexpected ways, exposing the underlying tensions of privilege, race, and social dynamics. Emira, a young black woman struggling to navigate multiple jobs and uncertain futures, finds herself entangled in a disturbing incident of racial profiling. Meanwhile, Alix, a wealthy white blogger grappling with her own insecurities, embarks on a journey of self-discovery through her interactions with Emira.

Reid masterfully crafts characters that defy stereotypes, allowing readers to delve into their complexities and contradictions. Through Emira and Alix, she illuminates the nuances of well-meaning intentions gone awry, shedding light on the pitfalls of "white saviourism" and the ways in which individuals unwittingly perpetuate systemic inequalities.

What sets "Such a Fun Age" apart is its ability to blend social commentary with compelling storytelling. Reid navigates delicate subjects with finesse, inviting readers to ponder uncomfortable truths while remaining immersed in the lives of her characters. The narrative unfolds with a sense of urgency, propelled by the desire for justice and understanding in a world fraught with misunderstanding and miscommunication.

This was PERFECT for my little book club. We thoroughly enjoyed this book and found this book club kit to be so helpful!

This was an easily enjoyed and fast read. This book is a page turner that takes place in Philadelphia, and it was written by a Philly author. It is a steady moving look into the ways race plays into relationships and the ways in which privilege is lived and perceived without getting heavy. It also left me contemplating times that we may think we are helpful, but if it is motivated by personal gain it is probably not helpful at all... it left impression on me regarding respect of people’s boundaries, relationship building, and also feeding into saviorism whether subconscious or intentional— particularly as a white woman. It is also a genuinely entertaining book with some endearing characters, a well paced plot, and a solid ending. Overall, I highly recommend this read because it’s a solid story but also leaves capacity for you to think about these topics on a deeper level!

Having read and loved Such a Fun Age at our book club, it was brilliant having this tailored resource to hand, and the questions helped us shape a really interesting discussion. It would be amazing to have more books with associated book club resources, as we really got a lot out of it.

We particularly appreciated the themed branding which tied in with the cover design - something simple, but really thoughtful and clean!

Such a great resource for when my Book Club tackles Kiley Reid's SUCH A FUN AGE! Grateful for this support.

Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the ARC.

Opinions are mine.

Important topics need the right guide that helps them be discussed, and I can't wait to do that with my book club and our first book of the new year!

Thanks to Penguin Random House Library Resources and NetGalley, who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest opinion.
