This was my first book club kit from Netgalley and it was a great first experience! I appreciated that the aesthetic matched the book and it was organized very well. The quiz, recipes, and bingo board were above-and-beyond touches that would be enjoyable for any book club. I appreciated the author's interview as well where she talks about wanting to write about a blended family and spend more time on the "prince charming" character than the original Cinderella did. The "read next" section was probably my favorite part because after loving a book, one of my biggest problems is that I don't know where to turn for a similar read!
5/5
Loved it! Such a great book club kit! It has everything you need! I loved the pizza and cocktail recipe and I can’t wait to use them again! I also loved the challenges that were included.
The Book Club Kit for If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy was a phenomenal addition to reading this book with friends! The interview with the author gave amazing insight into Murphy’s development of the characters and her thinking in writing the book. These additional pieces provided amazing context and really made us think about the characters deeply. However, my favorite part of this kit was the activities. I had so much fun with the Before Midnight quiz and the bingo card. It added a new experience to book club that was outside of the normal discussion questions and kept people engaged. I really appreciated the list of books at the end and even added several of them to my wish list! This was a fantastic addition to the book, and I am grateful to We Are Bookish for making this, and also looking forward to trying the pizza recipe!
Thank you to everyone involved for the book club kit! It’s super useful and well done. Every book club should use it!
I love book club kits and wish every book came with them. In this one, I especially like the discussion prompts, author information, bookmarks and recipes that were included. These kits are good for any book club or even if you read the book on your own as it helps you think a little deeper with all of the prompts.
Very useful materials for every bookclub. Thank you soon much. I will definitely check more from this club. Huge reccomendation.
I have this book but it sits on my never-ending TBR list- after going through this kit, I was extremely antsy to sink my teeth into it. I thought that the kit was one of the better ones I've seen- it has a lot of unique and creative activities, discussion prompts, author information, bookmarks and recipes. I think this kit offers such a great range of diversity in its material and would be perfect if you have a large book club as there will be something sure to entice every member. Really thorough and fun!
I enjoyed this kit alot. Loved the fun recipe and the bookmarks. Will definitely be reading more from this author.
I love this kit so much! My book club will be reading If The Shoe Fits in January. The bookmarks are great, colorful and fun. I love the discussion prompts, the quiz and the challenges. Definitely want to decorate my own glass slipper! I also love that it comes with a pizza and drink recipe. This kit includes everything to have the perfect book club night.
Unfortunately, my Book Club did not choose to read this title so I am unable to give adequate feedback at this time. The group chose a more serious novel, otherwise I think this would have been useful.
The questions in this book kit are thoughtful and opens up discussion in your book group. The bookmarks included are cute and will be a draw for any bookmark nerd. I loved the quiz that was part of this, it really helped to further put me into the book.
Love this kit! So helpful to have a fun cocktail recipe and bookmarks to promote the book! Especially love the readalikes.
What a delightful book club kit! I loved the author Q&A - it provided a great starting point for our book club discussion. The cocktail recipe was a great addition for us as well. The list of what to read next fits in perfectly with our group's interests, too! The perfect companion for this book.
This book was different from the books I typically read but it was cute and a lot of fun for me to read. I didn’t read it through netgalley, but I love the book.
I thought the book, "If the Shoe Fits, by Julie Murphy" was included with the Kit. I didn't realize this was only a small booklet of questions that pertain to the novel for a book club.
I am putting three stars as I was unable to read the novel, however, I think the concept of this is a great idea. It should just be more clear that the book isn't actually included in the kit.
3 Stars! If The Shoe Fits was a cute and fun read.
Thank you to Julie Murphy, We Are Bookish, and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
What a wonderful kit for a book club! I haven't read the book yet. I wanted to see what was offered and how I can use it. It really had many activities to use and I enjoyed the interview questions and discussion topics,
This is by far my favorite book club kit and the one my book club enjoyed the most. It has such a perfect mix of thoughtful insight about the story and fun activities to make us feel like Cinderella ourselves! I loved the bookmark design, which cut the cover in half. I also thought that the fashion show with Disneybounding was such a fun and unique way to get everyone excited from the beginning of the meeting. I really enjoyed our discussion about some of the prominent themes in this book like fatphobia. What I really wish we had was more cocktail recipes because we loved the one in the kit! I highly recommend this to level up your next book club meeting!
This is super cute. I kinda downloaded as thinking of starting a book club with some friends and if we go ahead this will be really helpful.
I loved the whole package. I don’t usually like a retelling but this was so good! I just wish there was more interaction between the two
