Loved the cocktail recipes! I also really like getting to know the author before reading any of their books. That way I get to understand their backstories even through their characters

Reid’s debut novel is infuriating, eerie and thought-provoking — all in the best way.

Emira’s interactions with both her employer and the bystander grow to uncomfortable levels, but it all feels very purposeful.

The novel is also the perfect fall read. Reid sets many scenes with autumnal spirit in mind; cat ears are pulled out at Halloween and a whole lot goes down at the Thanksgiving dinner table.

Such a Fun Age book club kit includes the discussion questions about the book (with fun cocktails recipes) and an interesting “conversation with Kiley Reid”.

I recently discovered the existence of these kits and I am loving them!

My favorite part is always the interview with the author which is very interesting as it allows you to understand more about the book and, in this case, to know better Kiley Reid.

I absolutely recommend it!

Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Random House for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I definitely devoured this book. It's easily one of the best debut novels I've read. It tackles so many complex issues like racism, classism, and cultural appropriation in an extremely readable, wild, and page-turning plot. the alternating POV between Mrs. Chamberlain and Emira was so well executed and made certain points of the story even more cringe-worthy. i’ll be thinking about this book for a long time. My only criticism is that it felt a bit heavy handed at times, but overall a really nice debut.

This was a great addition to aide in our Book Club’s Discussion. Really appreciate when Authors’& publishers take the time to develop these and add additional insight into the creation of the novel as well as the ideas the author was trying to achieve.

I loved the book and the book club kit supplements the book. The cocktail recipes were great and the questions will help in discussions. I also thought the coloring page was a nice addition. This guide is short and will be a great add to your book club. I highly recommend it.

I loved the conversation with Kiley Reid. The coloring sheet was a nice added bonus and so much fun.

Reading goes in and out of fashion in my household. Sometimes I’m reading a book a day and sometimes it’s been a month and my current read is gathering dust. Recently I feel I’m somewhere in between… that was until I picked up Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid and couldn’t put it down.

This book covers some difficult to swallow concepts about privilege and race, and how our choices impact others. I cringed my way through some parts, wanting to shake the character into hearing themselves. The conversation being had with the book is not knew, but reading it in this way felt accessible and thought provoking. And while confronting, also highly engaging.

In my opinion it was not just a story about race, it’s a story about impact. About what people will do to prove they are not racist, to prove that they belong and to prove that they’re still revivant. Personally, I wish some of the characters could have grown more, shown they had learnt and that there could have been some kind of resolution. However, in reality that doesn’t always happen.

But while this is a prominent cultural statement of a story, it is also filled with humour and warmth. The relationship between Emira and Briar made me smile from ear to ear and were pure pockets of joy.

It’s a book for the book clubs

It’s a book for those who want to be challenged

It’s a book for those looking for a guide for how not to dump your high school girlfriend

Great product for book clubs. Provides amazing discussion questions. There are also fun activities and the character themed cocktail recipe is a perfect addition. Thank you Netgalley.

This is an excellent book, and the book club kit supplements the book. The cocktail recipes are lovely, and the questions will generate many discussions. This guide is short and sweet. I highly recommend it.

It was fun and engaging, the guides as well as the background of the book is very interesting. It helps me become more interested in reading the book itself

This is such a fun, engaging book club kit! I love reading interviews with authors, and hearing about what inspired them to write their novel. The included discussion questions are perfect for encouraging deeper exploration of the book's characters and themes, the kit is easily printable/accessible and I loved how Netgalley began including on their sites. Will definitely use in the near future with my very own book club.

I absoluelty love these kits. I run a book group that is all about the intersectionality of gender, race, class etc where we read fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and plays that dabble in an assortment of genres for ages twelve and up. A kit like this makes it 10x easier to prep for my discussion that month with a sort of guideline for what sort of questions can be asked on top of the author interviews. I also really enjoy the handouts that these kits provide. The book marks and even book related lists are great for patrons wanting more from the book group.

I really like Penguin book kits. Not only is it well thought-out concise, but it contains some great cocktails recipes I want to try out today evening!

My Book Club read this book last summer and would have greatly benefited from the thoughtful questions and other resources in this Reader's Guide - highly recommend this to Book Clubs reading "Such a Fun Age".

We read this book as a book club and loved this additional resource to aid our discussions. We will definitely utilize more of these in the future. Thank you!

This book is not at all what I expected it to be but turned out to be suspenseful, artful, and intriguing. The difference of interpretation following the revelations and lives of the two female MCs was so fascinating to read about. The acute approach taken to racism, hypocrisy, and the objective of sensitive matters really sold this story for me. It can be a daunting feat to skillfully include the revelations
Conceded by the end of the book, particularly a characters brink between protectiveness and obsession. Overall this book is a testimonial to character dynamics, regression, and hefty topics handled with sophistication and knowledge.

I loved this book so I was very excited about that kit. You will not be disappointed! There are thought provoking questions, cocktails and coloring page. I wish we had this add-ons in every book.

I have not read the actual but by reading the kit , it gave me an idea what the book is all about and at the same time, getting to know the author as well.

This is such a fun and catchy book cover that it's the perfect way to highlight this book club kit. To get it started, drink recipes are first, which will be appreciated by the hostess (they can be printed out as a bookmark for a party favor). Like most parties, it helps get everyone relaxed and acquainted with each other.

Next up the discussion questions. The formatting was really out of whack on my device which made it hard to read and comprehend. I loved that they discussed the book's themes: perspective, relationships, boundaries, age, experience, challenges, and accusations. Because they weren't easy to read, it was harder to grasp their meaning and relevance. I ended up make-shifting some of my own with the jest of these.

The conversation with Kiley Reid was great. Her photograph is phenomenal. We learn about her passion, experiences, discrimination, advice, perception, awards, and author inspiration. I was happy to read that she is working on the film adaptation and hopefully a second novel.
