This is a valuable resource for anyone looking to have a deeper look into Breaking the Dark. As a huge Lisa Jewell fan, I wanted more information about this book because it is a different genre for Lisa Jewell. She has a vast library of Thriller and contemporary fiction books.

Thank you for my review copy of this book Club Kit

The book club kit is a fantastic addition to the book! It really helps you stop and think about the story and dissect what is happening. My favorite is the addition of the printable bookmarks and recipes. It feels like a truly immersive experience and is perfect for weekly meetings.

This is the ultimate book club resource. It has the typical questions to discuss, a small author interview, but then it also includes printable bookmarks, plus more. For your bookclub night, it has recipes, games, word searches, and even ideas on what to read next.

This kit makes me wish I had a in-person book club. It would make for a fun bookish night!

These are great resources and some fun things also. My mistake was that I didn't read all of the descriptions. But I will definitely now read the book with some other ladies and use these great resources.

I really enjoy the interactions these book club kits encourage. Makes for a really fun evening. As always, the food and drink suggestions are perfect.

This is perfect for a group reading the book together. I also think it would work for individual reading. I would recommend this to all readers.

I absolutely loved this kit. The interactive word searches, drink recipes, and printable bookmarks were *chef's kiss*. Makes book club much more fun! I also loved the discussion questions because it gives the book club topics to discuss without us having to figure it out ourselves. Overall a great idea.

Our group downloaded the Breaking the Dark Book Club Kit hoping for a few thought-provoking prompts—and wound up with an entire evening’s worth of fresh angles and nerdy delight. Here’s why it earned a full five stars from us:

✔️ Expectations met (and then some)
Ready-to-print convenience: The PDF is cleanly laid out, easy to duplex-print, and includes margin space for jotting notes. We tossed copies into everyone’s tote bags and were set.

Author interview gold: Lisa Jewell’s candid answers on balancing noir grit with Marvel lore gave us invaluable behind-the-scenes insight. Several members hadn’t read her before; the interview instantly made them fans.

Tiered discussion questions: The kit offers everything from broad ice-breakers (“How does Jessica redefine ‘hero’?”) to deep-dive prompts about trauma and identity. No awkward lulls—our 90-minute meeting flew by.

Bonus extras: A cocktail/mocktail recipe (“Hell’s Kitchen Hard Punch”) and a printable character badge sheet turned our living room into a mini-con.

✏️ What could make it perfect next time
We would have loved a one-page “Quick Facts” timeline of Jessica Jones’s Marvel history for newer readers, plus a spoiler-free Spotify playlist to set the mood. Neither gap diminished the kit’s usefulness, but they’d be icing on an already stellar cake.

🎯 Who should grab this kit
Marvel newcomers who want just enough context to feel confident discussing the story

Long-time Jewell readers curious about her venture into superhero noir

Facilitators pressed for prep time—the guide nearly runs itself

Bottom line: If your club is tackling Breaking the Dark, this Disney-sponsored kit is the no-brainer companion. It turns a solid book chat into a lively, fandom-flavored event—exactly what a great book club resource should do.

I was excited to discover this book club kit. I am a big fan of the Marvel show, Jessica Jones.
-The author interview is enjoyable for readers. Especially for Marvel fans to hear how it is working on novel-writing with a Marvel influence.
-The discussion questions are open-ended, thoughtful, and some are fun such as "Which super power would you have and why?"
-The printable bookmarks are aesthetically pleasing.
-"Food is one of the most exciting parts of a book club meeting and it's always more fun when it's inspired by the book." 100% agree with this and this book club kit makes it so easy to provide themed-food and drink!
-The activity ideas were fun and themed-appropriately and great suggestions for recommended books!

This is the perfect guide! This book is not a lighthearted book, but you can make the discussion easier and fun with this guide. The activities are a fun little add on. I loved the interview. Also seeing all her books in one place is so helpful!

The book club kit was fantastic! My book club and I loved the suggested read-along. Playing the mystery game included in the kit was a highlight—we had the best time ever! I adored this kit and can't wait to get my hands on more.

Very helpful for facilitating discussion. A wide range of opinions & thoughts on this book so the guide was most helpful.

Our book clubs would happily use resources like this one to increase engagement and facilitate discussion. People who enjoyed the book will find the extras appealing, and curated discussion questions are always welcome.

Thank you for the ARC. This gave me some ideas of what to do for our book club kits at the library.

I haven’t read the actual book yet, but I loved the Jessica Jones tv series, so didn’t mind reading this even if it contained some spoilers for me. I feel like this would make a great addition to any book club - I definitely want to pick up and read the book, now. From recipes to puzzles to theme suggestions for the food and themes for book club, and free printable bookmarks, this is an awesome little kit I think any book club member reading the book would love.
