Our book club was absolutely captivated by Breaking The Dark—Lisa Jewell has once again delivered a twisty, gripping, and emotionally layered story that sparked endless conversation. But what truly elevated our reading experience this time around was the incredible book club guide that accompanied it.
This guide was not only thoughtfully organized and beautifully presented, but it also went far beyond what we usually expect. The discussion questions were deep and thought-provoking, helping us peel back layers of character motivation, plot development, and hidden themes we may have missed on our own. We were especially impressed by the unique extras included—behind-the-scenes author insights, character backstories, and even themed prompts and activities that brought the book to life in an immersive way.
It felt like we had access to insider knowledge that made the entire experience richer and more connected. These kinds of additions are so rare in book club guides, and we truly appreciated the time and care put into it.

This is a very interactive book. I definitely love it as well as the games and bookmarks inside of it.

This is a great addition to take to book club while reading Breaking the Dark. I really loved the book marks, they're so cute! There's also a space to write your thoughts, read an interview with Lisa Jewell, cross words, recipes. I'm so excited to use this to host our book club!
I really hope there are more book club kits in future. Thank you so much.

I love how this gives other picks similar to this one and refers you to read other offers. This is a great setup for those who love this title and want to find more books like it where you will get the same experience! Very insightful and I love this. I wish we could find more resources like this out there.

The We Are Bookish Book Club Kit for Breaking the Dark by Lisa Jewell was the perfect companion to an already gripping read—thought-provoking questions, creative activities, and insightful extras made our discussion even more engaging and memorable!

Great bookclub kit, looking forward to using at my bookclub when we read breaking the dark. Especially liked the interview with the author and the printable bookmarks

Really helpful kit and I think it gave some good ideas. Very helpful guide for people reading the book as part of a book club!

Really enjoyed the bookish kit! The discussion questions were super helpful, and the printable bookmarks and stickers were such a cute touch

A gripping, slow-burn thriller with a standout lead in DC Nicole Lawson. Lisa Jewell masterfully layers suspense with emotion, delivering a story that’s dark, immersive, and hard to put down. The pacing is steady, the atmosphere tense, and the twists land when you least expect them. I loved how real and flawed Nicole felt—she’s a character I want more of. A strong start to what I hope is a continuing series. Perfect for fans of smart, character-driven crime fiction.

This Book Club Kit was beyond helpful! We are planning to do this book for our next book club and this just made the event 100000x easier. I wish this was more common because it makes more people want to read it and discuss it.

What a great kit for book clubs reading Breaking The Dark - I wish they more books had a pack like this as it is fantastic

Thank you to NetGalley, Hyperion Avenue, and We Are Bookish for the copy of this Book Club kit.
This is an excellent idea for book clubs, large or small. The kit includes discussion points, activities, and an extensive author interview with Lisa Jewell.
While I haven’t read “Breaking the Dark,” this kit contains so much information and even has a “content warnings” section for your sensitive readers. I especially like the crossword puzzle, and I can see this as a book club day event with all the activities, or stretched out over a two-day discussion.
There’s a crossword puzzle, space to write additional thoughts or questions to your club, printable bookmarks you can print and give away as swag or favors, and a Bites & Sips page.
An excellent idea for the host is to print some recipes (with drinks) on small cards and attach the bookmarks as a complimentary gift. This kit includes other titles by the author, a “what to read next” section, and other books from Hyperion Avenue.
I love this idea and hope We Are Bookish comes out with more companions.

This is so cute! This kit is perfect for a book club, for sure. My book club peeps loved it. I think the detailing was thought-out with careful detail. Now, we just have to get our hands in this book and read it as our BOTM.

The *Into the Dark* book club kit by Lisa Jewell is a fantastic companion for readers who enjoy diving deeper into their reading experience. I especially appreciated the thoughtful extras included—particularly the beautifully designed bookmarks, which added a fun, personal touch to the reading process. It’s a small detail, but it really enhances the overall feel of the kit and makes it feel special.
What stood out the most to me, though, was the list of suggested similar books to read. It’s a great resource for anyone who finishes *Into the Dark* and is craving more of that same suspenseful, twisty vibe. The recommendations were well-chosen and felt curated with fans of Lisa Jewell’s writing in mind. Overall, this book club kit is a great addition for group discussions or solo readers who want to linger in the world of the book just a little longer.

My review as someone that is NOT a Marvel person.

The first 30% of this book, I wasn't sure. I struggled to connect with it and I think I was looking for Lisa Jewell's usual style which seemed to be missing. Once I got over that and kind of tried to see the book for what it was I loved it.
Was it a Lisa Jewell classic, no. Did I still have a great time, yes.

I really loved this Book Club Kit! It was so fun and had a lot of really neat ideas. Although I really enjoyed this packet and loved everything in it, I really wish there were more bookmarks, and stickers.

I loved this book club kit! The discussion questions are great, and the interview with the author was very interesting to read. I particularly loved the recipes! I can’t wait to try them out.

This book club kit is a thorough guide and has great discussion prompts. Super excited to use this for our work book club 👍🏻

Can’t wait to read the new Lisa Jewel book and be able to use the book club kit with my book club friends! What an awesome and interactive kit for a group to use! Because who isn’t obsessed with Lisa Jewels writing anyway?! Super excited!

Since I do book clubs I am always looking for something to help me. I am always looking for discussions questions. This kit gives you more ideals besides just questions. It has an author interview, food suggestions and games you can do. There are more pluses to help.
There was a question I know I will be using in all my book discussions, which I would never of thought of. Thank you Lisa Jewell, We Are Bookish and NetGalley for the advanced reader’s’ copy.
