3.5 i think?? i liked it, HATED alex (& kelley tbf). the plot was good & i adored little briar but it also felt a little underdeveloped?? but i can’t put my finger on why. the writing was lovely & it was nice to read, i just felt like it was missing something especially in the first half of the book. possibly because there was a lot of satire throughout that then made end feel a bit manic in comparison to the rest of the book? idk

White saviour complex come through!

Such a fun age is such an easy read, but don’t be deceived. Although the reading was easy and “light”, it packs a rather important punch.

The story focuses on a rather small and seemingly insignificant family and their babysitter, but is an important commentary and depiction of race and class in the U.S. (and other western countries).

This wasn’t an instant favourite, but I will remember it’s depth and importance for a long time. All my fellow white folks should read this and learn from this. We’re not saviours, we’re allies. Don’t forget that.
