Wonderful book club kit, lots of insightful questions that really make you think about what you've read. Loved the Q&A with the author and found the little colouring page a really fun touch.

Enjoyed this book and although I misunderstood what a bookclub kit was, it looks as if it would be excellent! And it did spur me on to buy the book!

This Book Club Kit includes fun and thought provoking questions and discussion ideas that make you think about what you've read but also allow you to discuss how the story makes each person has a slightly different opinion or perspective on what they have read.

This was a very thorough book club kit. It had an interview with author Kiley Reid, questions to discuss in a book club, as well as a fun little coloring page to fill out! A solid jumping off point for a book club to start talking about this wonderful book.

This Book club Kit is highly recommended for following reasons -

1. Super engaging, can be divided into few rounds in the book club.
2. Covers all the areas of the book which is pretty helpful.

If you are in a book club, then this is a must have.

Thanks,

I loved the conversation with the author and the added drink option (what fun!) I also enjoyed the questions, although it seemed like there were just a few.

Good guide, I'd definitely use it!

A great discussion guide for those reading Such a Fun Age with a group! Insightful discussion questions that are sure to spark a quality discussion of the book's themes.

I've not read this book yet, but I would definitely find this resource really useful especially for bookclub discussions. These should be available for every book as they are so useful!
This particular one would be great especially for discussions and awareness of race topics.

I can see how this kit would be able to facilitate discussions on race and class smoothly in classrooms or book clubs! Very well designed visually too.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an e- ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Ok these book club kits should come with every book! This is the first one I've read on Netgalley, and I loved it! I listened to the audiobook of Such a Fun Age, and it was such an impactful book and would make for some great book club discussions. I can't wait until my local book club is meeting more frequently. I loved that this included a little bit of everything:
-Drink recipes - always fun
-Discussion Questions - perfect for prompting valuable and important conversations
-Author Interview Questions - Yes! So important, I often google the authors after I finish reading a book, so this was an excellent brief way to get centralized information about the author
-Coloring Page - Such a Fun Age was one of my favorite covers from 2020, so this page would be so fun to color! I wish I had this when taking pictures for my bookstagram post!

This book was interesting and touched on a few important social issues that are very relevant in our time. I like that topics of conversation it brings up for book club!

This is an excellent book club kit that I would recommend for any book club. The discussion questions are great, and any group would benefit from them.

So, the character-themed cocktails thing was kind of fun but just sort of felt out of place. Plus, they were incredibly basic drinks so seemed like sort of a halfhearted effort that made it fall flat (despite how delicious a pina colada sounds, always).

I read this on my kindle device, and the typos for the "Discussion Questions" section were insane. So much so that I couldn't understand what the questions were. I'm guessing there might be some kind of formatting error in translating it over to kindle because, if not, this just didn't get proofread whatsoever.

Weirdly, I didn't have as many typos/formatting issues for the "Conversation with Kiley Reid" section (so my kindle may not be the culprit?) - in any case, that section was great. I always love hearing the author's perspective, and learning a little more about their background/inspiration. I was psyched to learn she's working on the film adaptation of the movie. And as an Iowan, it was fun to hear about some of her experiences at the Writer's Workshop. Those behind-the-scenes details are always a great addition to a good story.

This novel is one of my favorite reads for 2020 and 2021. It might be a great read for high school students about to go off to college, or a 20 something that needs to see the world from a different perspective. I loved every second of this novel. I cheered for the main character while my heart broke for her. Such a great investment of a reader's time.

Containing a variety of resources for book clubs, this is a wonderful starter kit that could be easily shared with all members of the book club to promote discussion and activity

I reviewed the book club questions in the kit and some of the other content. It gave me a sense of the book and some good ideas to enhance my book club's experience. Thanks for putting it together

Once again a great discussion oriented kit for book clubs. This time it's Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid. The kit itself features a set of discussion questions, an author interview, and a coloring kit for the front cover. I really like how these kits are united in having in depth discussion questions, but that they diverge in the other set of components. The coloring the cover idea is such a fun one, and one I haven't seen Book Club Kit do before this book kit. Just another way that groups can get more involved with a text and have fun.
