This kit has been so well put together. The extra content and meaningful discussion questions would make it an excellent addition to any romance book club's roster.

This kit is very well put together and will make hosting my Disney themed book club so much easier. The author interview and discussion questions are excellent.
I do wish the kit had some tips to help with a virtual event but overall I think I’ll be able to adapt it for my needs without too many problems. Thank you so much for providing this for free.

This is wonderful supplementary material for this book. The discussion question were really though provoking. Also the quiz provide was really enjoyable as it reminded me of when I was younger and doing the quizzes first in the magazine and then online. I also loved the recipes that were provided

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.

It's a fun way to get more into the book. I really enjoyed the recipes and the bingo. The "before midnight: questions are cute but it kinda feels like they were only for women. Which is understandable but still kinda disapointing.

I’m unsure how I made the mistake of getting this and not th actual book. But I will say it was very helpful and informative!

This is a thorough bookclub companion with high quality materials . I could see this upping your bookclub game or just a fun bookish night with friends!

My high school book club decided they want to read If the Shoe Fits for our first book of the year. The book club kit will be perfect for it! It has bookmarks (which printed very nicely), a few games to play and great discussion questions. I can’t wait to use it with the kiddos this month!

Yet another beautiful surprise with amazing topics of conversation for my book club.
I absolutely love the book marks and bingo!!

Thank you, once again

I can't wait until next month when it's my turn to host Book Club. This kit will make it super easy to organize and keep our discussion on point (especially I make the provided cocktail recipe as a mocktail!), I enjoyed the interview with the author as she pointed out it would be an appropriate book if some of our teen daughters also attend book club. I love the idea that we could prepare a pizza from scratch, but given time constraints, it's nice to also have the suggestion of having it be a pizza bar. I think the questions are thoughtful and will engage my friends. The bookmarks are such a fun touch and I will definitely print them out on stock paper to hand out as keepsakes! Plus, I like that one of them says "choose yourself; choose joy." The people in my book club are mostly moms and it's a good reminder to have. The included Bingo card also looks great to have! Our time discussing this book will fly by quickly with this great packet & I love that we could potentially choose one of the recommendations as our next book!

It’s great if you actually read the book “If the Shoe Fits.” But I didn’t read that book, so I didn’t have use for this Kit.

I Read If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy, and I'm still grinning from ear to ear! This novel is a delightful, feel-good romance that will capture your heart and leave you feeling uplifted.The characters are so well-crafted and relatable, I found myself cheering for them from the very beginning. Cindy's sassiness and Henry's charm make for a dynamic duo that will steal your heart. Julie Murphy's writing is pure magic, with a keen attention to detail and a deep understanding of the human heart. The pacing is perfect, the dialogue is witty, and the emotional depth is remarkable. What I loved most about this book was its thoughtful exploration of themes that are both personal and universal. Murphy tackles issues of identity, self-acceptance, and love with a deft hand, crafting a narrative that feels authentic and real. The romance is sweet and swoony, with a slow burn that will leave you begging for more. I also appreciated the way Murphy wove in elements of family, friendship, and self-discovery, adding a richness and depth to the narrative. Overall, I would highly recommend If the Shoe Fits to anyone looking for a heartwarming, humorous romance that will capture their heart and imagination..Definitely Your Next 5⭐ Read..

This is the second book club kit that I download and they are just AMAZING. I thought it would have the same content than tangled up in you, but they are different and I just love it. Like I said in another review, I think that having discussion questions is essential in a bookclub to be organized and make it fun and smooth. On the other hand, the fact that in this kit are other things makes it so special.

The bookmarks based on the book are super cute! And I started laughing out loud when I saw the test because I for sure would be sent home on the first night hahaha. And the bingo is a great idea to connect with other participants and have a great moment.

Pd: I will absolutely make the pizza recipe! My mouth is watering!

I have only been familiar with Julie Murphy from her collab work with Sierra Simone. This has me very interested in checking out more of her solo work. As always, I really like the insights these bookclub kits add to the reading experience.

Super cute!! Wish I read this with a group to fully utilize it! If I end up reading it in bookclub, I’ll definitely whip this out!

I checked this out after reading the book, which I wasn’t the biggest fan off, but it’s a great resource regardless. The activities were cute and fun, definitely work well for a book club, and the discussion topics were a standout for me.

I have used all of the Book Club Kits from the Meant To Be series, and this one was my least favorite of the bunch, maybe it's just because I wasn't a huge fan of the author's Cinderella retelling in general. But aside from that, the extras in the Book Club Kit are still really cute; the discussion questions are thorough, the bingo card print out was fun, and the pizza & cocktail recipes were great.. We even enjoyed the DIY decorate your own glass slipper craft, and prompt to recreate a modern day Disney princess outfit! The kit itself was great, so if you loved the book I would definitely recommend it!

I haven't read "If the shoe fits" yet but I'm planning to read it and this kit will go perfectly with it!

The bingo card, recipes, and disney bounding ideas are perfect! As a huge disney fan I can't wait to read this story!
