The characterization was great, which is why I found the ending so disappointing. I liked how it wasn’t overly serious, but the themes were handled well and integrated into the story for us to realize rather than be forced upon us. It shows how sometimes when we overstep and the more we try to help, the worse we make things. The novel is an interesting look at themes of racism, motherhood, privilege, and growth. But then Emira is confronted by a security guard at a fancy grocery store and accused of kidnapping Briar-Alix’s child-everything changes. While Emira is a 25-year-old college graduate who has no idea what she wants to do with her life, Alix is a successful blogger with a seemingly perfect life. "I didn’t think I would enjoy Such a Fun Age since it’s not something I usually read, but the writing flowed so well that I just breezed through the book! Such a Fun Age is about two very different women, Emira Tucker-a babysitter-and her boss, Alix Chamberlain. A post shared by Ciera (opens in new tab)
