"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 binge-worthy and bighearted 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 25, 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.

“Reid constructs a plot so beautifully intricate and real and fascinating that readers will forget it’s also full of tough questions about race, class and identity….With this entertaining novel, Reid subverts our notions of what it means to write about race and class in America, not to mention what it means to write about love. In short, it’s a great way to kick off 2020.”—Washington Post
“A complex, layered page-turner…This is a book that will read, I suspect, quite differently to various audiences—funny to some, deeply uncomfortable and shamefully recognizable to others—but whatever the experience,....Let its empathetic approach to even the ickiest characters stir you, allow yourself to share Emira’s millennial anxieties about adulting, take joy in the innocence of Briar’s still-unmarred personhood, and rejoice that Kiley Reid is only just getting started.”—NPR
“[Such a Fun Age] nestl[es] a nuanced take on racial biases and class divides into a page-turning saga of betrayals, twists, and perfectly awkward relationships....The novel feels bound for book-club glory, due to its sheer readability. The dialogue crackles with naturalistic flair. The plotting is breezy and surprising. Plus, while Reid’s feel for both the funny and the political is undeniable, she imbues her flawed heroes with real heart.”—Entertainment Weekly
Editor's Pick
Kiley Reid came to play
"It's been a long time since a novel stole my heart, but I've been obsessed with Such a Fun Age from the instant I clicked "play." Kiley Reid's voice is so fresh and fast-paced that listening to her debut feels just like watching the season's edgiest new dramedy. The story centers on a young black babysitter in Philly, her well-intentioned white employer, and whether a work relationship can ever really turn into family. I relished the moments I saw myself in the story, thinking, "yes, that's exactly what it's like to throw a three-year-old's birthday party for people you don't even like!", while at other moments I felt like a voyeur lapping up delicious soap opera-esque gossip. Reid's insights are so sharp and spot-on, serving up a fresh take on race and class. Finally, I couldn't talk about this book without taking a moment to sing the praises of newcomer Nicole Lewis, who is anointed by the narrator gods. Lewis keeps up with Reid's vocal acrobatics, exhilarating audiences with her code switching and other vocal stunts: everything from kids doing shots in the club, to moms drinking wine on play dates, to three-year-olds bickering at ballet class. Such a Fun Age is a true delight from beginning to end." — Rachel S., Audible Editor

I can't say they didn't warn me. Right now, I realize: I probably should have listened. Because if there's anyone who has no business playing a sport that requires a helmet, pads, and a liability waiver, it's this girl. The same girl who once knocked herself out during a game of backyard baseball. I stepped up to the plate, pulled the bat back a little too far to swing, and clocked myself in the back of the skull. Boom. Lights Out Lucy. That's how I got my roller derby name. So yeah. Maybe I should have known better.

Historia
On April 27, 1997, four contestants make it to the final cell of the Quigley House, a full-contact haunted escape room in Lincoln, Nebraska, made famous for its monstrosities, booby-traps, and ghoulishly costumed actors. If the group can endure these horrors without shouting the safe word, “reprieve,” they’ll win a substantial cash prize - a startling feat accomplished only by one other group in the house’s long history. But before they can complete the challenge, a man breaks into the cell and kills one of the contestants.

Historia
Whitney had some misgivings when she dropped her increasingly moody teenage daughter, Amelia, off at Lauren’s house. She’d never met the parents, and usually she’d go in, but Amelia clearly wasn’t going to let something so humiliating happen, so instead Whitney waved to her daughter before pulling away from the little house with the roses in front. But when she goes back the next day, an elderly couple answers the door - Amelia and Lauren aren’t there, and this couple swears they never were, that she’s at the wrong house.

Searching through her mother's belongings one day, Anna finds clues about the African father she never knew. His student diaries chronicle his involvement in radical politics in 1970s London.

promising start but nothing else
the most interesting part of this book is outlined in the synopsis. after that.. nothing. the characters are boring and their interactions are superficial. Emira spent the book drifting aimlessly. Alix's business backstory was badass but in the present she'd transformed into a useless puddle of indecision. every time kelley spoke, my eyes rolled into my brain. the high drama of the interaction that kicks the book off peters out into nothing as you spend the next 8 hours listening to conversations and interactions that are pointless, pretentious, or cringeworthy and ultimately lead nowhere. Briar's toddler outbursts were the only bits of dialogue that were enjoyable. the narrator, however, was great - she gave the main characters very distinctive voices.

Good Read
This book was chosen by my book club. That consist of 7 women .
This book was so good and once I started it I couldn’t put it down. There were so many points where Emira reminded me so much of myself at this “fun age”.

Needed This Nudge
Kiley Reid's novel further r opened my mind to the subtle and overt ways in which racism and privilege continue to seep into our culture. The narration was excellent, which may matter to some of us more than is warranted. Especially Nicole Lewis's child's voice, so often rendered cloying and saccharine by lesser narrators--spot on and heartfelt.

A great read (or listen)
This book exceeded my expectations. The plot picks you up and carries you with it throughout the entire novel, and the character development is fantastic. The narrator does a great job bringing the story — and people — to life. Would strongly recommend.

Amazing.
The development and thoughtfulness for the characters is incredible. If you want to be challenged and thoughtful about your own whiteness, this read is a must. Enjoyable for the plot, incredibly poignant about our times.

Great story
Light enough to relax to but deep enough to leave you wanting to keep reading. Great performance as well for an entertaining audiobook.
