I am seriously OBSESSED with this book club kit!!! It has author interview pages, discussion question pages, good ideas, read next ideas, games…. So many fun things to use with the book!! The water bottle labels were perfect as were the quizzes!

The concept of a book club kit is great but it caters more to in-person book clubs! I host a virtual book club through Discord so it's harder to incorporate the ideas in the book. A suggestion would be to create a section dedicated to virtual groups as they are far more common nowadays!

Thank you NetGalley for providing me an e-arc. When I first picked up this book I thought it sounded just amazing. I wanted so much more from this book and I found myself rather disappointed with the ending. It started really well and then personally just went downhill from there.

I love these Book Club Kits and especially the ones that include an interview with the author. I am impressed with how well thought out these book club kits are. They always include really great extras, like the videos and the bookmarks. I think they're a great resource for a book club to use. The included discussion questions are perfect for encouraging deeper exploration of the book's characters and themes, and I loved how Netgalley began including this in request. Will definitely use in the near future with my very own book club.

The author interview is great and I really appreciate the extras included with this kit. I imagine things like quizzes, recipes, and playlist suggestions would really enliven the book club experience.

This is brilliant, the first book review package I've come across that is so comprehensive and inclusive of creative thought, moving away from the traditional chairs-in-a-circle, same-old-discussions echo chamber of a book club. With a variety of prompts to encourage independent thought and creative avenues to follow themed interaction (like themed recipes), this has been well thought out as a resource to empower bookish people to get involved after the last pages close,

There's often a debate about how much autonomy the writer has in the opinions we form, when they publish a book to the public world, can they control the original personalities of the characters they conjured? Having an author interview included helps to mitigate these and bring yet another perspective.

It would be nice to see some aspects of the audiobook version, such as the voices expected of the characters and the impact the audio had too but overall this is a comprehensive pack that really brings the book to life beyond its pages.

The author interview was very interesting and thought-provoking, especially when discussing the female characters in the novel. I liked the printable elements, it makes everything more fun and also they seem easy to use since they are pre-made. The quiz was my favorite part, I think it can make the readers even more invested in the novel's themes!

Very helpful to encourage conversation. Will certainly be using more of these in the future at book clubs. Easy to access for a quick read over and straight forward

A really detailed kit, I love the author interviews and being able to see some lore (?) about tox in this kit was cool. If you’ve read the book I’d definitely check it out!

This kit is such an interesting way to interact with the book. This is such a fun way to keep conversations centered around the book! I loved the ideas for food and drink and the song suggestions!

I loved the "The Wilder Girls" it was an easy YA intro body horror and survival horror, and was a 4/5 star read for me. I could easily recommend this.
I loved each section and the easily printable format. The water labels were my favorite as it was such a simple way to make the callback to the book.
It makes for an easy set up for a bookclub that is also inexpensive.

My second favorite thing was the music playlist, I would curate this into Spotify and make it an easy share with a QR code.

The questions and quizes were very fun and easy way to discuss survival topics brought up in this book.

I Cannot wait to use this kit with my reading group.

To be honest, I really wasn't a huge fan of the book, but reading the author's interview and see their thought process made me change my mind. I also really appreciated the extra content, like the quiz, the playlist and the book recs!

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 novel is a wild adventure and is such a chilling read. The characters were well developed and incredibly flawed, which made them quite interesting to read about. The entire time I read the novel I was nervous with anticipation. The book keeps you on your toes and is an incredibly enjoyable read.

Good discussion questions to get everyone thinking and interacting with the author's writing and themes in a deeper way.
