Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid


Star Rating: ★★★★

Such a Fun Age" is an interesting book. It immediately dives into the plot, where a young Black woman is wrongly accused of kidnapping while babysitting a white toddler. The story goes much further into the relationship Emira has with her employers from there and is not centered on this singular event. However, it does provide a satire of polite prejudices that are explored within the story. I enjoyed this story a lot, especially the sticky widget that is the transactional relationship of someone being employed in your home.
