Ever since this book came out at the end of December, I have been seeing it all over bookstagram and in bookstores everywhere. I was lucky enough to meet @kileyreid at a local book event and she was the sweetest person. I got to hear all about her premise for this incredible book and it make me love it anymore. If you have not heard of this book yet, it is a story told from two perspectives, one of the African American babysitter, and one of the upper class white mom following an encounter of racial profiling in the grocery store near the family’s home. After this, Alix, the white mother tries to become closer to Emira, the babysitter, to ease the tension she feels. Such a Fun Age dives deep into issues of race, class, and age through the relationship between a woman and her babysitter while also critiquing the world we live in. If this book does not make you uncomfortable while you’re reading in some parts, then you are not reading deep enough because Such a Fun Age asks readers to reflect on the privilege that they hold. I highly recommend this book to everyone as it will be a timeless book for years to come.
