Such a Fun Age
by Kiley Reid
I think the intention behind this book was good and you should read it, but I also think this book missed a lot. You never really got to know how Emira felt about everything and it kind of glossed over everything. The whole book centers around Alix's white guilt and her being annoying because she's trying too hard which in the end does more damage. This book had the potential to be really insightful but it glossed over everything and made it seem like it wasn't a big deal. For example, when Emira's white boyfriend said the n-word you knew she didn't like it, but she never said anything to him and didn't tell her friends or thought anything about it after it.
Even though I gave this book a 3.5 it was good for what it was. You could really learn from this book. Not to do what Alix does because it comes off insincere and like you have a hidden agenda.
