Description for Such a Fun Age

Amazon.com Review Kiley Reid�s debut, Such a Fun Age, will make you uncomfortable, enlighten you, and make you laugh�likely all at once. Emira Tucker is a 25 year-old living in Philadelphia with two part-time jobs (typist and babysitter) and no health insurance. One night the mother of the child for whom she babysits calls upon her in an emergency, and Emira�clad in her �going out� clothes�takes the toddler to a yuppie grocery store, only to be accused of kidnapping by a security guard and fellow shopper. You see, Emira�s employers are white, and she�s African American. The mother, Alix, is embarrassed by this situation and immediately takes the babysitter on as a project (unbeknownst to Emira) and becomes slightly smitten with her. Emira, meanwhile, loves her toddler charge but merely tolerates the mother, whose name she can barely remember. She�s busy navigating her somewhat aimless post-graduation life and trying to figure out how to �adult� before she�s off of her parent�s health insurance at the age of 26. Emira and Alix�s lives, although distinctly different, intersect in a wholly surprising way, raising difficult questions about morality, forgiveness, race, class, and parenthood. switching voices from the mother to Emira�s boyfriend to Emira-the-friend to Emira-the-babysitter, Reid somehow manages to make her writing effortless and authentic. �Sarah Gelman, Amazon Book Review Read more Review �A complex, layered page-turner�This is a book that will read, I suspect, quite differently to various audiences�funny to some, deeply uncomfortable and shamefully recognizable to others�but whatever the experience, I urge you to read Such a Fun Age. Let its empathetic approach to even the ickiest characters stir you, allow yourself to share Emira�s millennial anxieties about adulting, take joy in the innocence of Briar�s still-unmarred personhood, and rejoice that Kiley Reid is only just getting started.� �NPR��Kiley Reid has written the most provocative page-turner of the year....[Such a Fun Age] nestl[es] a nuanced take on racial biases and class divides into a page-turning saga of betrayals, twists, and perfectly awkward relationships....The novel feels bound for book-club glory, due to its sheer readability. The dialogue crackles with naturalistic flair. The plotting is breezy and surprising. Plus, while Reid�s feel for both the funny and the political is undeniable, she imbues her flawed heroes with real heart.� �Entertainment Weekly ��Provocative�Reid writes scenes and dialogue with a contemporary lilt....Emerge[s] some surprisingly resonant insights into the casual racism in everyday life, especially in the America of the liberal elite.� �The New York Times Book Review ��Fun is the operative word in Such a Fun Age, Kiley Reid�s delectably discomfiting debut. The buzzed-about novel takes a thoroughly modern approach to the timeless upstairs-downstairs trope....Told from alternating points of view, the novel loops through vibrant vignettes set in reggaeton nightclubs and Philadelphia farmers markets before landing firmly on one side of the maternal divide�.This page-turner goes down like comfort food, but there�s no escaping the heartburn.� �Vogue ��Such a Fun Age keeps it real on race, wealth, and class�.Subtly illustrat[es] the systemic racism in America and the ways that we�re routinely perpetuating it or being subjected to it on a daily basis. The question that will sit with readers for days after finishing the book: What role do I play?� � Marie Claire �[A] sparkling debut�[Such A Fun Age is] an entertaining tale with plenty to say about race, human connection, and the pitfalls of good intentions.� �People�(Book of the Week)��Buoyed by a tight narrative structure, Such a Fun Age is a compulsive read whose dark humor comes at the expense of Emira, who often finds herself sitting in the wormy discomfort of a social faux pas.� �Elle �[Such a Fun Age] grapples with racism and nods to titans of literature....[A] vivid page-turner [that] explores agency and culpability through the entangled lives of Emira and her employer, Alix.���Vanity Fair �A bold, urgent, essential exploration of race, class, labor, friendship, identity and self-delusion, both deliciously readable and incredibly complex. This smart, quick-paced novel tracks the fallout and triumphs that follow its characters� slightest gestures and impulses. Without ever resorting to didactic tones or prescriptive proclamations, Reid portrays the way different bodies are read in public spaces�.From a craft perspective, Reid�s debut is an exemplar novel: Each character�s voice is perfectly distinct in dialogue; each text message is plausible, powerful. There is humor [and] not a small amount of suspense�.Not a word is wasted, and not a nuance goes unnoticed in this masterwork.� �Minneapolis Star Tribune��Such a Fun Age tackles big issues�race, class, employer-caregiver tensions�through a riveting story.� �Real Simple '[An] interesting look at how Millennials navigate pre-existing concepts of race, classism, micro-aggressions, and transactional relationships.'��Teen Vogue��Instantly compelling, this debut novel from bold new voice Kiley Reid is poised to be one of 2020�s most-talked-about books�.Braids coincidence with pitch-perfect dialogue as it dives deep into the uncomfortable dynamics of race and privilege. It�s also hilariously astute about myriad other aspects of modern life, from dating to d�cor.� �Net-a-Porter '[A] page-turning debut...Engaging with contemporary questions of race and privilege [that] will keep your air-sign mind fired up all the way into the new year.'��Entertainment Weekly, Pop Culture Horoscope�A searing commentary on race and privilege.� �Refinery29 'This exploration of racial tensions and privilege reveals that the best intentions don't always stem from sheer goodwill.'��Domino�'It's smary, wry, plot-driven, and all about how earnest white people so often get race majorly wrong.'��Bustle�'A�smart, thoughtful novel that you will want to discuss with your friends. Perfect for book clubs.'��PopSugar'Kiley Reid tackles the white savior complex and transactional relationships in her hilarious and relevant debut....Such a Fun Age�captures the consequences of unexamined privilege while also bringing to light the discomfort of post-graduate limbo....A smart, engaging novel packed with nuance.'��Bust�'Curious, empathetic Sags will fall for this debut novel, a coming of age story about a young black babysitter and the white woman she works for, which also happens to be one of the most anticipated books of the month.'��Lit Hub, Astrology Book Club�[A] sharp and gripping debut...Written with both empathy and unflinching candor, Reid's novel delivers piercing social commentary on race and privilege in America that will have you contemplating it long after you finish reading.���Book Riot�This novel about race and privilege is the book we all need to read as the 2020 election year approaches.���Electric Literature'It's timely, the characters are fantastic, but, more than that, it's in the literary space but almost has the pacing of a thriller. It's a magic trick of a book.'��LitReactor�Readers who enjoy coming-of-age stories that tackle serious issues with a touch of wit will find this a worthy alternative to a wild night out.� �Ms. Magazine �Reid�s clear writing style is the perfectly invisible backdrop to the action. Her dialogue is witty and authentic�.As the drama unfolds, Such a Fun Age sucks you in and surprises you. With this debut novel, Reid provides a fresh look at how racial anxieties can drive both healthy and heated conversations about race, while exposing toxic relationships.� �Chicago Review of Books � �One of the most incisive books I�ve read about race and class in modern-day America. It�s also really funny. And fun�It also has one of the most exquisitely awkward Thanksgiving dinners I�ve ever read.� �WBEZ '[A] deft and heartfelt exploration of race, class, parenthood, and youth.'��Business Insider�'Reid explores privilege and the problematic nature of the white savior in a debut you won't be able to put down.'��Bookish��Brilliant...Witty, relevant, and thought-provoking,�Such a Fun Age�tackles issues of race, privilege, and the nature of transactional relationships.���BookBub��The strength of�Such a Fun Age�lies in Reid's even hand with both Emira and Alix, whose points of view switch off fairly regularly throughout the novel. Neither character is archetypal: Emira is levelheaded but frustratingly aimless, and Alix is entitled without being risible�well, until the book's end....[A] conversation starter of a debut novel.� �Shelf Awareness'[A] smart stunner of a social novel...Reid's skill with character and dialogue keeps the action moving forward at a brisk clip....Money, guilt, the emotional cost of a transactional economy and unrecognized white privilege are at the heart of Such a Fun Age. But make no mistake, it's also a blast to read, and you will�laugh out loud.'��BookPage�Reid�s debut sparkles with sharp observations and perfect details�food, d�cor, clothes, social media, etc.�and she's a dialogue genius.. . . Her evenhandedness with her varied cast of characters is impressive.. . . Charming, challenging, and so interesting you can hardly put it down.���Kirkus Reviews (starred review)�In her debut novel, Reid illuminates difficult truths about race, society, and power with a fresh, light hand. We're all familiar with the phrases white privilege and race relations, but rarely has a book vivified these terms in such a lucid, absorbing, graceful, forceful, but unforced way.���Library Journal (starred review)�Reid crafts a nuanced portrait of a young black woman struggling to define herself apart from the white people in her life who are all too ready to speak and act on her behalf�.Reid excels at depicting subtle variations and manifestations of self-doubt, and astutely illustrates how, when coupled with unrecognized white privilege, this emotional and professional insecurity can result in unintended�as well as willfully unseen�consequences. This is an impressive, memorable first outing.���Publishers Weekly'In her smart and timely debut, Reid has her finder solidly on the pulse of the pressures and ironies inherent in social media, privilege, modern parenting, racial tension, and political correctness.'��Booklist��Reid is a sharp and delightful storyteller, with a keen eye, buoyant prose, and twists that made me gasp out loud.�Such a Fun Age�is a gripping page-turner with serious things to say about racism, class, gender, parenting, and privilege in modern America.���Madeline Miller, author of�Circe��Such a Fun Age is a startling, razor-sharp debut. Kiley Reid has written a book with no easy answers, instead, filling her story with delicious gray areas and flawed points of view. It's both wildly fun and breathtakingly wise, deftly and confidently confronting issues of race, class, and privilege. I have to admit, I'm in awe.���Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Daisy Jones & the Six�An amazing debut...A sort of modern Austen-esque take on racism and modern liberal sensibilities...except that description makes it sound far more serious and less clever than it is. [Kiley Reid] has a forensic eye.���Jojo Moyes, author of Me Before You�This is a deft coming-of-age story for the current American moment, one written so confidently it�s hard to believe it�s a first novel. Kiley Reid explores serious issues�race, class, sex, power, ambition, and what it�s like to live in our hyperconnected world�with a light touch and sly humor.���Rumaan Alam, author of�That Kind of Mother��Kiley Reid's propulsive, page-turning book is full of complex characters and even more complex truths. This is a bullseye of a debut.���Emma Straub, author of�Modern Lovers�This is not a world of easy answers but one in which intentions don�t match actions and expectations don�t match consequences, where it is possible to mean something partly good and do something mostly bad. The result is both unsparing and compassionate, impossible to read without wincing in recognition�and questioning yourself.�Such a Fun Age�is nothing short of brilliant, and Kiley Reid is the writer we need now.���Chloe Benjamin, author of�The Immortalists�Kiley Reid�s witty debut asks complicated questions around race, domestic work, and the transactional nature of each.���Nafissa Thompson-Spires, author of�Heads of the Colored People�Kiley Reid has written a timely novel that asks what we owe to those we care for in this complicated world. With intimate, touching observations, Reid details the lives of two complicated, loving women who are trying to figure out how to live their best lives in a world that does not always make space for them to do so.���Kaitlyn Greenidge, author of�We Love You, Charlie Freeman��Such a Fun Age�is such a fabulous book�a crisp, wry, and insightful novel about class, race, and relationships. Kiley Reid is a gifted young writer with a generosity that makes her keen social eye that much funnier and sharper.���Jess Walter, author of�Beautiful Ruins��Gripping, substantive, complicated, compelling, and just plain true....These characters laid claim to me, and their stories became important to me in the way art does that to its readers, viewers, listeners....Such a fantastic, serious, and, I should say, fun read.���Paul Harding, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Tinkers�The first time in a long time that I had a novel glued to my hands for two days...Such a Fun Age�is so witty, so touching and humane. Just utterly phenomenal.���Jessie Burton, author of�The Miniaturist��Such a Fun Age�is such a fresh voice. It�s a unique, honest portrayal of what it�s like to be a black woman in America today. Kiley Reid has delivered a poignant novel that could not be more necessary.���Lena WaitheMarie Claire's #ReadWithMC Book Club PickA Well-Read Black Girl Book Club Pick�#1 Indie Next Pick#1 LibraryReads PickOne of...The New York Times' 10 Books to Watch for in January�USA Today's 5 Books Not to Miss�Vogue's Best Books of WinterMarie Claire's 10 Best�Books of Winter 2019�Real Simple's Most Anticipated Books of 2020�People's Book of the Week�Bustle's Must-Read Books of 2020PopSugar's 22 Best Books of WinterSheReads' Most Anticipated Books of 2020Refinery29's 11 Books to Stay Inside With This Winter�Domino's What to Read This WinterFast Company's December Books to Check OutBook Riot's December 2019 Book RecommendationsChicago Review of Books' Best Books of December�The Millions' Most Anticipated of December�Bookish's Best Books of December�LitReactor's Best Books of 2019� Read more See all Editorial Reviews
