I am grateful for this guide to lead discussion in my own book club as it is our February Black History Month pick this year! I have read Such a Fun Age previously and will be re-reading it with this guide in mind prior to our discussion. I am also a huge fan of annotating my books and this will be a great guide to keep in mind as well as I reread. I hope my members will appreciate a thorough guide to our meeting as well!

I thoroughly enjoyed Such A Fun Age when it came out. There's a lot of thought-provoking topics for discussion and the questions in the guide help get to a thoughtful discussion. I liked getting to know more about Kiley Reid and her path to becoming a writer. The character-themed cocktails and coloring page were very fun touches!

I requested this book, thinking the actual book would be included in the kit. It is not - it is purely a kit to discuss the contents of the book, with some extras in it.

The kit includes a conversation with the author, and in-depth discussion questions (which I think are great).

I love the 'character-themed cocktails' bit, such an original way to bring your love for a book to the next level!

I am obsessed with book club kits. It is such a fun and helpful way to host a book club meeting. The Design is very nice and the content is everything you need to host or to contribute to the book discussions.
This kit includes Character-Themed cocktails. Who doesn't like a good cocktail? While you are sipping on the cocktail you can utilize the provided discussion questions to drive the conversation about the book. If you are more interested in the Author you will also have a great opportunity to share the conversation with Kiley Reid. As if this is not enough you also have a page where you can color the cover. I am in love... go and grab it and have fun during your book club meeting! Hosting a book club meeting made easy and fun!

This was a great resource for my college bookclub that I help to run. It allowed us to have even more meaningful discussions examining privilege, white-supremacy, performative activism, cancel culture, and many other important topics that should be discussed at a. much more prevalent level. The novel was amazing on its own, but I found that this book club kit really developed the story and made the novel more accessible to those that hadn't read something like it before.

The author does a great job addressing a very relevant sensitive topic. Her writing style captures your attention from page one and keeps you hooked until the end. As a reader, you form an understanding of the main characters and their feelings throughout the story.

I must admit I thought this was a copy of Such a Fun Age but so that’s my fault for not reading the description. However, I thought it was a good kit for a book club and has great points of discussions. I especially loved the blank book cover you can use to color.

An author I admire said that SUCH A FUN AGE had a really great opening chapter, and I read got the book to read for that purpose. OMG! This book was an intense page-turner from the very first page. Holy moly! Highly recommend!

Such a fun age by Kiley Reid was an honest exploration of society, child rearing and women relationships. Thank you NetGalley, the author and publisher for the review copy. All opinions are my own.

This was my first book to read by this author but I hope to read more soon! The characters and the story stay with you long after you finish it. Good, fast read. Highly recommend!!

I was so happy to have a chance to read Such a Fun Age, it was a book that must be read to be understood. This book deals with racism, parental responsibility, performative activism, and finding a sustainable job and feeling lost in your mid-twenties. I really liked Reid's writing voice; it was easy to be absorbed. I loved the characters and their relationship dynamics, the big revelations and the story’s direction after everything is getting out of control. It was such an entertaining and enjoyable read. Though it started good, but I didn’t like how the things ended for the characters. I highly recommend it.

I love these Book Club Kits and this one did not disappoint! It was a great addition to the novel, which I enjoyed, and helped answer some questions. Thank you for making it available and I think that this would help make Such a Fun Age an amazing book to read with a book club.

This is an amazing kit to go with the book. I think this answers a lot of questions in regard to the content of the novel. It speaks upon real life experiences from the author and shows how the author made their own experiences into an amazing novel.

i did not realise this was the book club kit, and i haven't read the book nor do i have a book club. i do think this would be very fun to do with your book club if you have one and you are going to read this book :)

Yet another book club kit i downloaded thinking it was the actual book. In my defense, i was new to netgalley at the time, so i think it was a valid mistake.

i had listened to the audiobook of such a fun age and the narration was great. the book deals with important discussions on racism and performative activism. i was not a fan of the sub plot involving one of the characters high school love life, which kinda impacted part of the story but overall felt quite unnecessary. in general a pretty solid read.

I must admit that I was disappointed.
But I suppose I should have looked closer at the title before downloading the file. I was expecting the e-book of Such A Fun Age but of course, this is only the Book Club Kit.
Anyway, thank you for making it available, Penguin.

I loved this book when I read it, and I was so eager to read it with my book club. This book club kit offers such good discussion topics and questions. Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Library Resources for a copy of this book for an honest review.
