"The most provocative page-turner of the year." --Entertainment Weekly

"I urge you to read Such a Fun Age." --NPR

A striking and surprising debut novel from an exhilarating new voice, Such a Fun Age is a page-turning and big-hearted story about race and privilege, set around a young black babysitter, her well-intentioned employer, and a surprising connection that threatens to undo them both.

Alix Chamberlain is a woman who gets what she wants and has made a living, with her confidence-driven brand, showing other women how to do the same. So she is shocked when her babysitter, Emira Tucker, is confronted while watching the Chamberlains' toddler one night, walking the aisles of their local high-end supermarket. The store's security guard, seeing a young black woman out late with a white child, accuses Emira of kidnapping two-year-old Briar. A small crowd gathers, a bystander films everything, and Emira is furious and humiliated. Alix resolves to make things right.

But Emira herself is aimless, broke, and wary of Alix's desire to help. At twenty-five, she is about to lose her health insurance and has no idea what to do with her life. When the video of Emira unearths someone from Alix's past, both women find themselves on a crash course that will upend everything they think they know about themselves, and each other.

With empathy and piercing social commentary, Such a Fun Age explores the stickiness of transactional relationships, what it means to make someone "family," and the complicated reality of being a grown up. It is a searing debut for our times. Belletristik Coming of Age Frauenliteratur

The Story is really good, you want to know how it ends. The end is sad but also realistic and good. The story gives good insights on how different and covered racism can appear.

Good insight to racism

Everything that was written is so beautiful! Race and racism are immensely complex issues and the book handles them really well. What counts as a racist remark, am I covertly racist when I prefer something or someone's company, how can I avoid positive racism, is diversity almost always just a checklist for people in power to feel less racist? I'll be haunted by these questions but I'll also be more mindful of my actions, words, company and taking decisions on someone else's behalf. As a brown woman, a general note to everyone who wants to not be racist or come off as one, or being like Alix and Kelly from the book, ask. Ask how that person feels in that given moment, ask THEM if they need help, don't assume and don't treat a person from minority as your own property that needs to be protected. Always ask first 😊

Perfekt

The performance was alright, I would have preferred the characters' voices and intonation to be a little different, but it is alright as it is too.
!!!!!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!

I would've wished for a different ending. It felt flat as if the writer didn't really had time to finished it. It just feels weird for me atm. maybe by the next reading it will feel better, but I thought that it wasn't a fear ending.

Lovely

Really liked this book! It reminded me a lot of Queenie by Carty-Williams so whoever liked it will love this

Tackles so many problems that are overdue talking about

I couldn't stop listening.
Well written and perceptive character descriptions, you have to go on reading to find out if each person fullfils their goals. Elmira's girlfriends sound like a fun crowd. Well worth it.

Addictive indeed

Such a fun story to listen to. I have enjoyed it. I do recommend it.

Good story

Maybe the book is better if I read it on my own.. I found the performance of this book so horrible. The reader made every character sound annoying, annoyed and shrill.. I've been hopping in and out of listening to this book since months until I finally had to make the decision to just stop and not continue on because listening to this performance makes me angry.

I can't even say if I like the storyline ... I need a break and then I will have to borrow it at my library and read it myself to figure this out.

What a drag

the narrator's performance was good. The book was easy to listen. However, there wasn't much to the plot itself. I found it rather flat: especially the reveal of the background story felt rushed and anticlimactic.

mediocre

The premise of the story is interesting and the speaker is nice enough, but most of the characters have the same voice. It's difficult to tell everyone apart and we learn about the characters at a very slow pace.
The characters' interactions all seem very superficial and fake, what people act like and say and how we're told they feel don't match up.
I feel like I am having trouble understanding this story because it is very US American, it feels outlandish and strange and tedious to het through.

Very US-American
