This kit is an amazing way for people who have book clubs to do fun things after or whilst reading the book. This kit is fun and filled with amazing inside information for the reader.

Julie Murphy can do no wrong! She is such a great writer! I loved reading this Cinderella re-telling! It's so good! I highly recommend reading it with a group and using this Book Club Kit. I'm so glad that this is the first book in a series.

I think this is helpful for any book club or reading discussion. I also liked the recipes in the back!

I mistakenly requested this book because I thought it was the actual book.
I liked that there were topics for discussions, short quizzes and a book club bingo!
I also liked the Disneybounding challenge, it looks like something I might want to try out.
There were also recipes in the kit

There are all kinds of fun pages in this book club book! This is perfect for book clubs if you’re reading If the Shoe Fits.

After finishing this short-but-sweet kit I feel it added to the reading experience and provided lots of topics for discussion among readers.

The author's interview is really great. Julie Murphy came across as down to earth and relatable in her answers and I loved the insight into her writing process.

I think content warnings are always appreciated. We can never be too prepared when starting a new novel and when it comes to triggers it's better to be overly aware.

The other elements in the book club kit, such as the challenges and quizes, further book recommendations from Julie herself and other authors and the food and drink recipes would be perfect for an in-person book club.

The only thing that may not be successful is presuming people are attending in-person book clubs when in reality, social media and virtual book clubs are more popular and prevalent in the book community, especially since Covid-19. The digital space among readers has exploded so I think targeting the online community is very beneficial.

I love this book club kit. How fun to have a pizza recipe, a cocktail, recipe, handy discussion questions, bookmarks and even a craft project to go along with a book. I've been in book clubs for many years and we've never had anything like this. I hope they continue to make more of these.

This book kit is intended to accompany the book "If the Shoe Fits" by Julie Murphy. Never having hosted a book club before, this book kit gave a plethora of different types of insight into the book that will guide me as my friends and I intend to start our own book club. I really enjoyed the author interview that gave insight into Murphy's writing processes, inspirations, and struggles with writing this novel. The discussion questions were good conversation starters about the plot, and some could even be used as inspirations for book club talks about other books. The bookmarks were adorable and the following activities were very cute. I also appreciated the food and drink recipes!

This was such a fun book club kit! My friends and I read If the Shoe Fits for a book club, so when I saw this club kit I thought it would be fun to share with them and see how we liked it.

We loved the interview with the author to get some more insight into the book and all of the extras that were added into the the kit! The questions were all a great mix and allowed us to all come up with some different insights into what we read. There were recipes for pizza and a drink, so we made those for the book club too! The "read next" books at the end had some great recommendations that we added to our list of potential books to read for book club!

Overall, we thought this was a fun kit that enhanced our book club experience. While we didn't use all of the elements (the shoe design and bookmarks) it was fun to have some extras that made reading this book even better!

Book club kits add a lot of value to group reading! My friends loved receiving the book markers as a surprise and it was really fun to do the BOOK CLUB BINGO worth a marguerita hahaha the list of recommended readings was very good too, I added several of those books to my "want to read" list. And, as is tradition in my book club, we made THE CINDY cocktail and it was a success!!!

Loved this Book Club Kit! It's stacked to the brim with book extras! You're provided with an interview from the author, 14 discussion questions to bring to book club and 2 double sided bookmarks. You get a Shoe design challenge as well as a "How Far Would You Make It In Before Midnight" quiz. You also get two book club activities! My favorite parts of the kit the pizza recipe as well as the Cocktail Recipe. Can't wait to try these out!

If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy will be next book for the book club!

It was my week to choose the book and after a little research this one caught my eye. This Book Club Kit is amazing, the proposal of the bingo, the quiz, the pizza and cocktail (that we already tried out) (it was magnificent) and the shoe design are things my book club would love to do. Creativity, artsy and hunger overtakes that room all the time, it was very nice to see how all of the activities related so well to the theme.

Julie Murphy has always been one of the favorites in the Book Club, we can't wait to read this and the books recommended as well. Definitely recommending this kit to more friends!

I love the bookmarks included for printing - will definitely be printing them.

And without a shadow of a doubt I know already the signature cocktail recipe will go down a treat.

A great story by a talented author. If you are a reader of romance books, this romcom should be right up your alley. I recommend it definitely.
