emilyburton98 's review for:
Such a Fun Age
by Kiley Reid
Such a Fun Age is a light-hearted and enjoyable read, probably aimed at women in their 20's. As someone who fits into that bracket, I resonated with the storyline of this book and the struggles of deciding what to do with your life at a time when you're seeking spontenaity and freedom.
But, this book also touches upon the issues of racial prejudice still common in society. The central character, Emira, is a babysitter accused of kidnapping the child she was entrusted to look after. While this isn't entirely surprising to her, those around her are shocked by the institutionalised racism that Emira faces.
We follow Emira after the incident as she begins to delve deeper into her identity and decide what she wants to do with her life, whilst those around her expose their true colours.
