I think it's unavoidable. I have to say it: This was such a fun book to read. Honestly! Despite so many cringe-inducing moments and trying to keep track of who was who in the large secondary cast of characters...
While the book does make you think a lot about racism, stereotyping, white privilege, and more, I was hoping for a far more character growth and development from some of the main characters within the story itself. But maybe that's expecting too much and just not how it works in real life, ya know?
Such A Fun Age is certainly worth reading, even if just to reflect on our own day-to-day interactions and where we can do better. And it is, on the whole, a fun page-turner, so if you're remotely curious by the premise of this book, definitely pick it up! :-D
