Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid

4.0

I have so loved getting back into fun fiction over the past few weeks. These books make me care way more than the more critically-acclaimed, educational alternatives that I used to force myself to stick to. Even when these books are rife with cliches, unbelievable dialogue, and choppy sentences, they still hook you in to their world and leave you needing to finish the story. These fun books have reminded me why I love reading!!!! This book in particular deals with really interesting themes of race, class, and gender, through new lenses. It feels like you are in on a joke with the author, making fun of the self-centered white mom, even while reading the story through her perspective. This book, subtly and not-so-subtly, allows a way into so many important and timely discussions about these difficult topics while still being so fun and entertaining.
