It’s a great way to bring readers together and explore the layers of this powerful story in a structured yet open-ended way. Highly recommend for any book club reading Such a Fun Age!

This Book Club Kit would make a great companion to Such a Fun Age which I read a couple of years ago now. I thought both the discussion questions and the interview with Kiley Reid would be a spark for some really interesting conversations surrounding this book and I liked the fact that so many questions were included. The kit was nice to look through and I liked that the formatting and colours of the kit matched the cover of the book.

My favourite elements of this kit were the more interactive elements for example I liked that cocktail recipes were included which relate to the two protagonists. These activities would make a book club meeting more fun and could provide some light relief from some of the more serious themes and topics explored in this novel and consequently in the discussion questions and interviews in this kit.

This was a very aesthetically pleasing book club kit that is a great companion to Such a Fun Age. I wish it was a bit longer with more activities but I really enjoyed the author's interview and the different discussion questions presented. I hope book club kits continue to be created by publishers because many would benefit from them.

Having read and loved Such a Fun Age at our book club, it was brilliant having this tailored resource to hand, and the questions helped us shape a really interesting discussion. It would be amazing to have more books with associated book club resources, as we really got a lot out of it.

We particularly appreciated the themed branding which tied in with the cover design - something simple, but really thoughtful and clean!

I am grateful when publishers provide such useful book club kits. This is a particularly complete and helpful one. I hope for more like this!

I have to say, I disliked Such a Fun Age. While it was entertaining enough to keep me reading, I was relieved when it was finally over. The story tackles important themes around race and privilege, and I guess I was just not in the mood to read that.
The characters, particularly Emira, had potential, but I found them lacking. The plot felt somewhat disjointed and left me confused about its overall message. It’s a book that tries to address serious topics but ends up feeling superficial at times. If you’re looking for something thought-provoking, this may not be the best choice for you.

i found this book club kit very insightful! i think it would prove to be quite useful in a bookclub setting since the questions can open up a lot of discussions between the readers. i also enjoyed the interview with the author, it helped me better understand the thought-process behind this novel.

Book Club Kits are great to use when opening dialogues among friends. This book club kit has discussion questions as well as a Q&A with the author.

I appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Fantastic kit for use in book club meetings. We struggle with discussing the book (we usually say a few worked about it and then start chatting about anything in general) and this will help us to stay on track.

I read this book last year and have been debating submitting it for book club, so this was a fun find on NetGalley! I really love the interview with the author, and how she talks about the emotional intelligence of children. It gives the book extra depth, and I am so glad I read it!

Really a great resource to go along with the book. Definitely a guide to tackle the issues tackled in the book. Enjoyed everything thoroughly.
