This book club kit was enjoyable! The questions asked, really made me process more in depth what I had just read in the book. I did this book club kit with a friend and we both enjoyed the experience. Would recommend for a book club or you can even do it alone!

Great thought provoking questions for my bookclub. With such a good book it's always great to discuss amongst peers and fellow book lovers and these questions really allowed us to do so. Totally recommend.

Thank you to netgalley, the author and publisher for these questions.

I am reviewing the book club kit for Such a Fun Age. I have read the book in February 2021 and enjoyed it.
The book club kit has recipes for the cocktails (Perfect for entertaining at a book club) There are discussion questions, a question/answer with author. A bonus treat is a coloring page of the book cover.

I'm not sure if something was wrong with the download of this or if it just hasn't been edited at all, but the discussion questions for this book club kit were indecipherable. It was like some words were inserted into the middle of other words. I hope this was just a technical error and not going to publication. The about the author section did not have the same problem and gave insight as to why Reid wrote the book.

This short lil kit has some fun surprises like "character-themed cocktails", discussion questions, and a conversation with the author. I walked away from it extremely excited for the film adaptation of Such a Fun Age that she's currently working on.

The book club kit would be a decent addition to library copies and book club copies of the novel. I think the author interview at the end is great for adding a bit of context and reflecting the author's thought processes. I do think the questions could dig deeper into the context of the book in today's society as it is very relevant to today, but overall it would be a solid addition to a copy of the book or for distribution through a library.

I'm obviously stupid and didn't know what a book club kit was. All the same, this was fantastic. Amazing ideas and questions for discussion.

WOW, that's a great book club kit! The discussion questions were really intriguing and left the readers thinking a lot, and it helped in showing different perspectives along the book club members both in reading experience and comparing with real life situations. Seeing and comparing white and non-white readers dealing with the struggles shown on the book were one of the highs in the book club reunion.

Also, the interview with Kiley Reid was great! I was really excited to see the creative process of the author (I had some of my internal questions answered), and can't wait to see her second novel and the movie adaptation.

This is a great kit to have for book club discussions and to have while reading this book. Thank you to NetGalley, publisher, and author for a gifted copy. This is my honest review.

The discussion guide asks excellent, thought-provoking questions. Many that can’t be easily answered. I enjoyed how a few questions subtly asked readers to tie in their own experience paralleled to Emira, Alix, and Kelley. The interview with the author provided context for the novel and gave words to some feelings I’ve had about the book, like the complex relationship dynamics between mother and babysitter. This is a worthwhile read to further enjoy an excellent book.

This was a great book with so much happening in the pages. This book club kit really takes the guesswork out of preparing for a book club discussion. It is thorough and well organized and contains all the necessary elements for a great discussion.

This is a Book Club kit which I did not realize. I do want to read the book, but have not so I am unable to evaluate this kit.

At first I didn't realize this was a book club kit--I saw the cover and requested too quickly! I realize now that it is just discussion questions for going along with the book. I love this idea of providing thought-provoking questions to get people talking about Such a Fun Age. I definitely think this would be useful to a book club, buddy read, or anyone who just wants to think a little deeper about what they have read.

Even though I haven't used the kit, I love the flow of it. Not only will it assist with the bookclub discussion, but it will help me put together content for my review. One of my goals is to read for entertainment and absorbing the story, which this kit will be a test of my knowledge. I can't wait to get into it.

By the way, the cocktails will be made and enjoyed.

I will say the view of this kit is better in the Netgalley app vs kindle.

My book club hasn’t used this yet, but I can’t wait to use it. The themed drinks are a huge plus as our group is a group of moms who are meeting virtually and enjoying our wine and each other’s company. This is a great book club kit!

These questions for a Book Club make me want to read Such a Fun Age as a Buddy Read while having a few drinks during discussion sessions.

I loved this book! Such a great debut! It had so many layers and heavy topics throughout the whole book and despite that It kept me wanting more. The character development was strong and I felt bonded towards Emira and Briar! Well done!!
Thank you NetGalley

What book club isn't complete without some themed drinks?! And luckily this kit comes with everything needed to have a great book club event; thoughtful questions, a conversation with the author, and a coloring page. I could just see the character-themed cocktail recipes that were included kick start the conversation! Thank you for sharing this adorable and helpful book club kit!

This is the second Book Club Kit I've read from this publisher. I love the way these are formatted and color coordinated to the book covers. Speaking of book covers, I love the "color the cover" page at the end. Too bad my copy is digital. The author interview really adds to the reading experience, and the questions are thought provoking. I love these kits and will continue to look for more. I would love to see these Book Club Kits available on the publisher's website for all books.

This book kit included some drink recipes inspired by the characters, as well as some insightful questions and a conversation with the author, Kiley Reid. I thought the drink recipes was a fun idea and would really step up a book club meet-up. The discussion questions were insightful and really got you thinking, however, I don’t know that the content in the book kit would be something I’d be willing to pay extra for. If it’s included at the end of the book, then I think it’s a great addition.
