This one starts off with author questions so you can see more in depth into her thinking. It then goes into discussion questions that you can use for your own book club. Then it has fun printable bookmarks to had out to your friends pluse drink and food recipes inspired by the book.

This is such a great resource for a beautifully written novel. I can't wait to use this for bookclub.

A fun, easy book to read. Book club materials were great. I would recommend this to a book club, a historical fiction reader and a contemporary fiction reader.

Great read! First read from this author. This book makes me want to read more from this author. Kept my attention and interest until the end. Plan to use this kit with my book club

This is a fantastic book club kit, with its stylish design to match the book cover, plus an array of options for readers to choose from when discussing the book—cocktails, bites, attire, and even music of the era, with bonus bookmarks to be printed by the reader. Makes a great companion piece to the discussion questions and even inspires a reader to recommend it to her club...just to be able to create the party to accompany it!

I am not sure we will use this packet in our book club group. I do like the bookmarks and the questions, just not sure the group would be interested in the book. I will definitely keep the information

This book club kit is fantastic! It’s organized with insightful questions with amazing resources! It's a must have for any book club. Get this now!

A gorgeous book club kit about a BIPOC retelling of The Great Gatsby. Includes a playlist, author discussion, themes for book club, book club question prompts, recipes, other book recommendations and some awesome historical tidbits I hadn’t heard of before about one of my favourite eras.

-The discussion questions were open-ended and though-provoking. Perfect for a book club setting!
-The printable bookmarks are aesthetically pleasing and include meaningful quotes from the book.
-I am pleased that this book club kit included food and drink suggestions for book club meeting purposes!
-The playlist and 20s themed party ideas are great for the party host.

Thank you to We Are Bookish and NetGalley for a digital copy in return for an honest review

'The year is 1921, and America is burning. A fire of vice and virtue rages on every shore with Chicago at its beating heart.'

How can you resist that tagline?

So looking forward to getting stuck into the book itself and then using this to do a deep dive!

This book club kit is well-organized, with insightful discussion questions, author interviews, and thoughtful suggestions for related books. The additional materials, like background information on the book and its themes, provided context that enriched our understanding.

THANK YOU! We Are Bookish never misses. These are AMAZING.

As someone who helps run a local book club, these book club kits are such a great tool to have! Everything is included and laid out so easily! Thank you for making such usefully and insightful tools for club!

Not only do I enjoy them, but I know our guests at book club enjoy them too! Makes us look more organized when I don't feel like I am lol.

The book marks are always hit! A nice little keepsake to print out.

Thank you for the book club kit that is my gold standard of ideas and activities for a great book club. There is not one idea here that doesn't inspire one to think more deeply about he topics if Cunningham's book and make it the 1920's come to life. This for me is what a book club is all about bringing the book to life. And with a costume party discussion, bee's knees completion food and drink...along with insights about the book from the author...I am planning and looking forward to a great time with my group!

This is a really gorgeous packet. I loved the recipes, the decorating ideas, and hearing more from the author. I think these sets are a really good idea, and not just for libraries, I think marketing these to bookstores as well to sell to bookclubs is a really great idea.

This Book Club Kit is a game-changer for anyone looking to elevate their book club experience. It’s packed with insightful discussion questions, fun activities, and even personalized book recommendations—everything you need to spark lively conversations and keep your group engaged. The materials are beautifully designed and easy to use, making both virtual and in-person meetings feel seamless.

Admittedly, I wanted to take a look at this book club kit because I was very interested in reading The Mayor of Maxwell Street in the first place. Much to my absolute delight, this kit was very involved and included a lot of great content. We get spoiler and trigger warnings at the very beginning and a note from the author to reference the historical accuracy—which relates to specific references and words about race. Following is an author interview and discussion questions, some of which were suggested by the author, herself! While the bookmarks don’t alter much to me in the long run, these ones are very pretty. This kit also includes links to some different drink and food recipes to have at book club meetings as well as some fun games and activities that can be incorporated into the meeting to make readers feel like they’re going back in time to the 20s. I loved the included playlist and read next sections as well.

I've read this book and think this book club kit would be invaluable to any readers. It includes thought provoking discussion questions and lots of ideas for a 1920s themed book club party. Highly recommend!

Thanks NetGalley!

Nice resources with some extras to use for a book club with discussion questions.

No external review since this file is extra resources to the book, and not the book itself.

An excellent book club kit! Highly recommended for facilitating in depth discussion around the book and its themes. Looking forward to using this one with my book club soon. We Are Bookish always has amazing and immersive reading kits to enhance reading experience!

Great book club resource for an absolutely incredible book. I loved the inclusion of a playlist, drinks and recipes to truly evoke the time and place of the book.
