Very unique and colorfoul

This book was a joy to read. The characters are likeable and relatable. Nelly's story starts at her brother's funeral, where she encounters the Black Chicago elite, notably the intriguing Jay Shorey, marking the beginning of a captivating narrative. Secretly, Nelly has been contributing articles to a Chicago newspaper under a pseudonym, with her late brother's assistance. Contrasting that her parents only want for her to marry well and secure her future. The racial themes in the novel are a powerful element, almost like an additional character that shapes the world. I recommend this book for anyone who wants read a well-wirtten, thought-provoking novel. #NETGALLEY #THEMAYOROFMAXWELLSTREET

My book club just finished this book today and we used this book club kit.
We loved the recipes and the drinks. Those were such fun parts of the booklet and we loved enjoying them! We also really liked the author discussion and the discussion questions.
But the one feedback we had was that we'd like the bookmarks closer to the front of the booklet. Because the booklet said there were spoilers farther in, most of my group did not go farther into the kit to get to the bookmark until they were done (for fear of spoilers), so we didn't have the bookmarks until we were done with the book and didn't use it.
Otherwise, we really enjoyed the kit and hope to find more for our reads! Thank you for giving us a fun added bonus to our book!

This kit is all you need to host the perfect book club for this title. The work is already done for you! I would happily use this for the book clubs I am a part of.
Thanks to the publishers for a sneak peek into this kit in exvhange for my honest review.

Having been in a book group at my church for the last three years, I know how hard it can be to find good discussion questions. This kit is such a helpful tool for our book group. I would love to see more things like this come from authors and Netgalley!

This is a great guide for the book to go deeper into the characters. I enjoyed the book so I wanted to get a feel for the questions and thought process from the author.

Contains bookmarks, author interview and discussion questions. Really Informative and contains some bookish activities. Great for book clubs that do a book of the month.

I passed this title on to our local library's book club and they are still waiting to get the all clear from their group.

I am loving this resource. My favorite part has to be the bookmarks! I can never have enough bookmarks! I can't wait to share this resource as my friends and I read the book and hope they will agree to a potluck with drinks and snacks offered in the kit. This is a great enhancement!
I was given this opportunity through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.

Fantastic kit for use in book club meetings. We struggle with discussing the book (we usually say a few worked about it and then start chatting about anything in general) and this will help us to stay on track.

This marks my first book club kit. It sets the standards high with an interview and insightful questions. It inspired me about my reviews, analysis and my workshops.

Went through the entirety of it, and this is wonderful kit for a book club for this book. The engagement is wonderful and useful! I enjoyed that it has extras to provide for your club.

I checked out this free Book Club Kit example for inspiration in my own book club and was pleasantly surprised. Colorful, researched, and well-crafted, this Book Club Kit did not disappoint and would most assuredly be a strong companion for any book club.

I especially appreciated reading the interview with Avery Cunningham. The questions asked of her were the type of questions I would have liked to ask her. I enjoyed the book and was happy to review this excellent compilation.

Awesome way to catch the reader. These type of gifts really draw the attention and the public - of course - will be very interested in grabbing the book as soon as it is released. Congratulations!

I just love the idea of a book club kit! It's a perfect way to really get into all the pieces of the book. Having this guide was a lot of extra fun!

I loved this and my bookclub did as well. It really made the book more interesting. My favorite was the different food and drink options because food always makes things more fun and engaging. I will be sure to include more resources and guides like this for my book club and I can see it taking our bookclub very far. Thank you!

This book will be a book club read for myself and a book club that I'm a part of and this is great to have. It is great for not having a book club exclusive copy or those who tend to skip the extras in the back. It's also nice to have this available to download and send out as a part of a book club activity before a meeting so everyone has time to look over the questions and develop their own thoughts to share later. I will be sharing this with the book club that I am a part of for sure!

I loved the interview with the author, and wish there was more on her writing process for this historical fiction book. The playlist and bookmarks were fantastic additions.
The recipes and suggestions for meeting set this book club kit apart and I would be interested in further book club kits if this is the typical set up and subject matter.

The Mayor of Maxwell Street is a beautiful novel that captivated me from the start. Being able to dive into this book kit added not only fun book-themed extras (like drinks, snacks, playlist, bookmarks, etc.), but also a newfound love for the story through the author q&a and discussion questions. Hearing from the author was extremely insightful and I found myself wanting to ask her 50 more questions myself! Overall, I love these book kits. I think they are so great to add meaning and structure to your book club meetings!
