Publisher's Summary
Longlisted for the Booker Prize 2020
Bloomsbury presents Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid, read by Nicole Lewis.
The instant Sunday Times and New York Times best seller.
When Emira is apprehended at a supermarket for ‘kidnapping’ the white child she’s actually babysitting, it sets off an explosive chain of events. Her employer Alix, a feminist blogger with the best of intentions, resolves to make things right.
But Emira herself is aimless, broke and wary of Alix’s desire to help. When a surprising connection emerges between the two women, it sends them on a crash course that will upend everything they think they know – about themselves, each other and the messy dynamics of privilege.
A Reese Witherspoon and Zoella Book Club Pick.
A Times, Stylist, Elle, Glamour and BBC Best Book of 2020
Critic Reviews
"The first time in a long time that I had a novel glued to my hands for two days." (Jessie Burton)
"Sharp and observant and pacey. Will have the same impact as Sally Rooney." (Pandora Sykes)
"A book that is clever, funny and shrewd, written by an author whose empathy can make you weep and smile, sometimes at the same time. A beautiful tale of how we live now." (Elizabeth Day)

good storytelling, okay storyline
it's a good book but I think it's more relatable for people in US who would have witnessed this. narrator is absolutely amazing though.
also I wish it didn't end so abruptly

A true representation of racism
This book unearths so many layers of racism and socio-economic divide within the characters of the plot. While such cases are happening all around us - intentionally or unknowingly, it is generally not noticed or outrightly ignored. The author has captured the essence of racism and discrimination in a great way - even affirmative action with being boastful about it is harmful and insensitive.
Absolutely loved how the author managed to show the emotions, thoughts and feelings of the characters. It's quite a detailed characterization for a debut novel - Alix, Emira, Kelley, Zara have been written quite memorably.
The audible version is brilliant too, with the narrator having done full justice to the story and characters.

Subtly powerful
An amazing read with understated, yet, powerful messages about racism, micro-agressions, and perspectives. Easy to read/listen to and impactful.

Surprisingly memorable
It took a while to get into the book, maybe because the accent and culture is quite unfamiliar to me. But after a brief haitus i returned to the book, and finished it in a few short days. It really surprises you, how every character is painted with clarity and depth, and how the story unfolds rapidly and yet effortlessly. Most surprising was the nail biting finish. I highly recommend this book.
