Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid

  • Twitter summary: While babysitting Briar, Emira is unjustly questioned by the store security guard about her relationship with Briar. A bystander films the encounter and the video threatens Briar’s family.
  • The good: I truly believe that the people you choose to spend your time with (i.e., friends) are family, no doubt that Emira’s friends have her back.
  • The bad: I am not a fan of Mrs. Chamberlain / Alix / Alex — and I know she has a significant role to play — but seriously, that’s how the video was leaked?! I kept wondering how the book was going to end but easy cop out to an initially fascinating plot.
  • Favourite character: Briar! I love this adorable toddler, her emotions (cue the sad face when Briar knew how her mom was treating her!) and personality.
  • Recommendation: Sure, easy read with some substance.
  • Overall rating: 3/5 babysitting nightmares
