As a Disney fan myself, I was super excited to get the chance to see what Jasmine Guillory's thoughts were about this story. My friends and I loved this kit and the discussion questions were a great way to get us thinking more deeply about the story. My favorite part of this kit was the pen name generator. I also loved the book recommendations at the end of the kit. I am always looking for more romance recs so being able to get some insight about what is new is always helpful. I loved this book club kit and it really enhanced the experience of the story so much for me.

I thought this was the book. Kind of disappointment but I should have paid more attention when signing up.

The book club kit for *By the Book* by Jasmine Guillory is a fantastic way to wrap up the available books in this series. As my fourth kit, I’ve come to really appreciate how each one has added a special layer of depth to the reading experience, and this one was no exception. The kit includes insightful discussion questions that sparked some lively conversations about the book’s themes of love, literature, and finding your own voice. I especially enjoyed the bonus activities, which encouraged readers to explore the book’s literary references and even create their own romantic story ideas. It’s clear a lot of thought went into making this kit engaging and interactive. I’m genuinely hopeful that they’ll continue making these kits for future releases in the series—they’re such a fun and enriching way to engage with the books, and I can’t wait to see what’s next!

Izzy and Beau were the cutest ever! This was such a great book. It was a sweet romantic comedy perfect for those who love fairytales and happy endings.

Special thanks to NetGalley and Jasmine Guillory for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest thoughts.

These bookclub kits are an invaluable resource for your book club! Alot goes into running a book club, especially when you want the meetings to be filled with fun games, yummy food, and good conversation. However it's easy when you have access to a book club kit like this one. There are multiple games, quizzes, printable bookmarks, and even recipes for a themed meal and mocktail/cocktail. I especially love that there is an included interview with the author and guided discussion topics for your group. This would be great if you are intimidated by starting your own bookclub and aren't sure where to start

This particular story is a updated retelling of Beauty and the Beast. The materials are a great supplement and provide ample discussion topics for book clubs.

Once again, thank you so much for the kit!
It's so refreshing to find a publisher that does this and gives you book marks and writing prompts. My group read this before, but we're going to use this for a fun review of the series!!
Thank you!!

This kit was helpful in fostering active and engaging conversation. Instead of just discussing opinions and the plot, it allowed the group to delve deeper.

In this reimagining of Beauty and The Beast, Izzy didn’t think she’d still be living at home, working as an editorial assistant at 25. To prove she deserves a promotion, Izzy takes it upon herself to give a jaded high-profile author a pep talk to push him to complete his late manuscript. Soon these two find they have more in common than they thought. Jasmine’s books are always a treat!

I absolutely loved the Book Club Kit! It's the perfect resource for anyone looking to enhance their reading experience and spark deeper discussions. The kit is well-organized, with insightful discussion questions, author interviews, and thoughtful suggestions for related books. It really helped guide our group's conversation and made the reading experience feel even more engaging. The additional materials, like background information on the book and its themes, provided context that enriched our understanding. Whether you're in a formal book club or just looking to dive deeper into a novel, this kit is a must-have. Highly recommend!

This book club kit was not only useful, it was so cute! I loved it! I especially loved that it came with an easy-to-print bookmark to give away to my book club members!

When I first downloaded it I had no idea what to expect because it was my first book club download but I can honestly say it superseded anything I could’ve expected! It prepared us with everything we needed from beginning to end with discusión questions, a little writing activity, appetizer and drink recipe, a little gift in the form of a bookmark, and a pen name game. I can’t think of anything I would add or remove to make it better.

Lets mention “Izzy’s Writing Advise! Idk if she really took the time to write that for us book club members but I really felt personalized just for us! I think that was our favorite part of this book club guide.

If you are planning on reading a romance novel with your book club, don’t pass this one up ❤️
