katherynek 's review for:
Such a Fun Age
by Kiley Reid
Enjoyed
I actually enjoyed this book, particularly at the end where things got a little bit more crazy. Characters began to show true colors. Although, most everyone in here is really a stereotype of themselves. Except the main character, Emira. This bothered me at first, the dialogue made me cringe. Like... I could’ve developed these characters as a 13 year old... but then, I realized that’s actually the point. You have to roll with it. It was also an easy read! If you feel like getting sucked into a narrative without having to mull over every sentence or phrase for meaning, this is the one. Not to be confused for a shallow, more surface level book, no, this has depth. It’s not as pretentious as other novels, though. You don’t have to be a literary elitist to appreciate it. Everyone and anyone can read it to find enjoyment and insight on class and race in the US.
