I had no idea that there were modern Disney romance adaptations! I'll definitely keep that in mind when I have Disney fans asking for romance recommendations. This was a really well-constructed book club kit. As always, the extra features are really well designed and executed.

This was so nice that it was ready for download instantly. This was our book clubs first pick, and it was great to be able to pair these with our discussions.

This is truly adorable. So adorable that I may have to pick Tangled Up In You for my next book club selection, even though my last pick was The Paradise Problem. Honestly, book club kits should be available for more books!

When I saw that Christina Lauren wrote a retelling of the movie Tangled I knew I had to read it! I love their books and I love the movie Tangled. Christian Lauren did a wonderful job at executing this book, I could not put it down!

Ren steps out into the real world for the first time when she goes away to Corona College. She has lived on her homestead with her parents for as long as she can remember. She finally decides at the age of 22 she wants to go away and get an education. Her parents give her ground rules for being able to attend school. She must only stay on campus she cannot venture out and on weekends she must return to the homestead and help with chores and taking care of things. Ren of course has a hard time with this as she needs to get some answers on her past.

Fitz is the popular guy on campus that everyone loves! Fitz decides to go to Nashville Tennessee for Spring break to take care of some things and see some family. Ren joins him on this road trip across country in hopes of learning more about life and her past!

I was blown away by how much I fell in love with the characters. I was rooting for them the whole time! Ren has this humor that I truly enjoyed reading. Fitz and Ren’s chemistry throughout the story was amazing as well! The spice level to this was very low which honestly I very much enjoyed as it really was more about the plot of the book.

I cannot wait to see what Christina Lauren decides to write next! I love their books!

This is a fantastic companion to Tangled Up in You, which was a 4-star read for me.

The questions posed made for great discussion and I loved the book suggestions too b

This kit is a fantastic resource for our book club! It’s full of great ideas to spark discussions and help even the shyest members participate. I’m excited to use it when we read this book next month. I can’t wait to share these goodies with my friends.

Huge "thank you! to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for this beautiful and very thoughtfully put together resource!

From the get-go i could see the time and attention put into this book club kit. Trigger warnings are not always available with book club kits so this was a welcome change to see and much appreciated! It will better help me and others pick a book that suits our club best or to allow members to opt out appropriately.

I loved the wide range of questions offered, being able to keep the conversation flowing is key to a successful book club! Being able to also get insights from the author herself can add so much depth to not just the bookclub meeting but also can give the reader more insight on what the author was thinking while writing or appreciate the writing process that much more after reading the authors work.

I absolutely adored the added extras like the bookmarks and This or That game! These little add ons make a big difference especially for "Ice breakers" at the beginning of the club to get the conversations flowing! Games like this can really help book club members get to know eachother better and build a sense of community - so important for book lovers who are often introverts!

The recipes were such a fun touch! How fun would it be to include these in your next book club (either pre made or as an activity to make together) and they would also make for adorable book-ish birthday food spreads!


Thank you again to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for this free resource! I can't wait to use some of these ideas for an upcoming book club!

I loved the road trip this and that and the flower crown tutorial. The interview was interesting just like the ones in the other kits. But I have to be honest and say that the rest kinda disapointed me if I compare it with the other three kits.

This has been an enjoyable resource for the book club! i love how interactive it is and particularly love Ren's cocktail recipe section which has been perfect for book club! on top of the awesome drinks, there were even some recipes for snacks and lite bites which has made this the all round perfect resource for book club! As well as the awesome recipes, it also includes loads of activities such as making flower crowns as well as fun games such as this or that! this has been a great resource and I would strongly recommend using it if you choose tangled up in you as your next book club choice.

What a cool idea! Highly recommend kits to go along with the book for book clubs. This is also insightful for those looking to learn more about the story, author, and publisher!

A fun, cute, enjoyable read!
Christina Lauren totally nails a more modernized version of Disney Tangled that also brings you some nostalgia of those who read the Face on the Milk Carton books. You meet Ren who grows up on a small homestead without any technology and is just starting college with a lot of rules from her parents. Ren meets Fitz in her Immunology class and one simple assignment changes their lives and sends them on one epic road trip.
This was an absolutely delightful read and will give adults a subtle Disney feel without the kid like Disney cheese. The relationships the characters build feel authentic and will drive you to just read “One more chapter”.
I can’t recommend this book enough and I will be rereading this one in the future.

This was a great book club kit that can be used by yourself and as part of a book club. I love the discussion questions as they can help with leading the discussion doing a book club meeting. I also loved the other materials that were provided such as the recipes and printable bookmarks.

I really enjoy this book club kit! I think it’s perfect if you want to read the book on your own and delve deeper into your thoughts on it or read it together with a group of friends. It’s the perfect companion to reading Tangled up in you!

I am in LOVE with the NetGalley Book Club Kits! Sometimes I choose books for book club based on whether there is a kit already created or not. I love choosing a book/series and not having to worry about putting together an event for it. Beautifully laid out with fun ideas and creative activities, NetGalley Book Club Kits are a must have.

Thank you so much NetGalley.

Sadly I am not part of a bookclub, but if I were, I think this kit would be really awesome!
I think it's really cool that it includes printable bookmarks, recipes, questions to discuss as well as other features.
