The book club kit has inspired me to request the book. The background information about the book was intriguing and the subject matter touched upon in the book club kit seemed to have universal themes and issues.
I am interested to see how the author brings together the divergent themes of religion and Christianity, along with sex,, eroticism and love. She evidently includes wealth, success and age, as they impact friendship. It seems to me as though the characters may be millennials, but the issues and interactions and feelings are universal.

This was a great book, and my book club enjoyed it! We have done another Sally Rooney novel previously and the kit was good to keep conversation centered on the book.

Good resource for following reading this.

Good content included.

The recipe feels irrelevant.

Like the q&a section which is great for engagement

I think that the Book Club Kit for Beautiful World Where Are You is a must read for book groups reading the book.
It was well organized and provided thought provoking ideas for discussion.
I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher and am leaving this review voluntarily.

I read Beautiful World: Where Are You for a Literary Fiction book club so I was really happy to acquire this book club kit. I found that I was interested in the comments and reviews that were posted, as well as the questions which helped to focus the discussion.
Interestingly, no one in my book club enjoyed the book, so this kit helped us to have a good conversation about a book that we didn't like.
I also enjoyed all the additional things that were included in the kit, e.g. the recipe, the other titles, the trivia.
I will look for additional book club kits to use with my book clubs.
Thanks to NetGalley for this publication.

I requested the book club kit because I was sure I would love this book and use it for a discussion group..
I absolutely loved Sally Rooney's previous work, "Normal People" and "Conversations with Friends", but I was disappointed in "Beautiful World, Where Are You?"
The characters seemed odd and flat. (In fact, I kept mixing up Eileen and Alice). I found the 3rd person narrative annoying and the story, if there was any, boring.
However, the reading group questions are very detailed & thought provoking, which would provide a good conversation. Not sure we would get through all of them, though.
The bookmarks are nice and I want to make the Fruit Crumble recipe when my friends meet to discuss this book.

This is a great guide for Book Club members and their Admins. The questions and topics for discussion are perfect and the gifts of the bookmark would be fun to pass out to everyone. And it would also be so fun to cook the recipe and serve at the last meeting. This is a perfect book club kit for this book
Thank You for sharing

The questions and topics for discussion were great and gave opportunity for plenty of different opinions to be both discussed and looked at!
the bookmarks were of course adorable and will be well used! the recipe was such a delightful find; and was a tasty treat!

Mega util para una lectura conjunta.
Una historia muy real y cercana sobre los conflictos en el paso de la adultez-joven a la adultez propiamente tal, los cuestionamientos sobre la vida y las relaciones que hemos ido estableciendo a nuestro alrededor, expectativas laborales, relacionales, salud mental, con qué nos quedamos, qué dejamos atrás y en qué nos arriesgamos.

"Sigue siendo mejor amar algo que no amar nada, mejor amar a alguien que no amar a nadie, y aquí estoy, viviendo en el mundo, sin desear ni por un momento que no fuera así".

I absolutely love this Book Club Kit and think they are an amazing idea.

I particularly loved the bookmarks and recipe - they were a lovely edition.

I also really enjoyed the interview with the publisher, it was a great insight into the industry.

If you have never started a book club and needed guidance on what questions to ask or where to stir the topic, look no further.. This book club kit had great discussion questions which helps reader further explore the novel and characters, and photos.
