Such A Fun Age

Kiley Reid's debut novel, Such A Fun Age, is about race, privilege, and the lies we tell ourselves. Longlisted for the 2020 Booker Prize, it is the instant Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller and it is considered as one of the best books every woman should read in their 20s.

It tells the story of Alix Chamberlain, an affluent, white lifestyle blogger and mother to Briar, who is two years old. And Emira Tucker, a young black woman, who Alix hires as her nanny.

When Emira is apprehended at a supermarket for allegedly 'kidnapping' the white child she is actually babysitting, an explosive chain of events begins. Alix, her employer, a feminist blogger with the best of intentions, vows to make things right. But Emira is aimless, broke, and suspicious of Alix's desire to help. When the two women form an unexpected bond, it sends them on a collision course that will upend everything they think they know – about themselves, each other, and the messy dynamics of privilege.
