ストーリー
The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, Southern Black community and running away at age 16, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: Their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her Black daughter in the same Southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for White, and her White husband knows nothing of her past.

Catalina has always had a flair for the dramatic, but her claims that her husband is poisoning her and her visions of restless ghosts seem remarkable, even for her.

ストーリー
On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.

Tara Westover was 17 the first time she set foot in a classroom. Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, she prepared for the end of the world by stockpiling home-canned peaches. In the summer she stewed herbs for her mother, a midwife and healer, and in the winter she salvaged in her father's junkyard. Her father forbade hospitals, so Tara never saw a doctor or nurse. Gashes and concussions, even burns from explosions, were all treated at home with herbalism. Then, lacking any formal education, Tara began to educate herself. Her quest for knowledge transformed her.

批評家のレビュー
"Reid constructs a plot so beautifully intricate and real and fascinating that readers will forget it’s also full of tough questions about race, class and identity.... With this entertaining novel, Reid subverts our notions of what it means to write about race and class in America, not to mention what it means to write about love. In short, it’s a great way to kick off 2020." (Washington Post)
"A complex, layered page-turner... This is a book that will read, I suspect, quite differently to various audiences - funny to some, deeply uncomfortable and shamefully recognizable to others - but whatever the experience, I urge you to read Such a Fun Age. Let its empathetic approach to even the ickiest characters stir you, allow yourself to share Emira’s millennial anxieties about adulting, take joy in the innocence of Briar’s still-unmarred personhood, and rejoice that Kiley Reid is only just getting started." (NPR)
"Kiley Reid has written the most provocative page-turner of the year.... [Such a Fun Age] nestl[es] a nuanced take on racial biases and class divides into a page-turning saga of betrayals, twists, and perfectly awkward relationships.... The novel feels bound for book-club glory, due to its sheer readability. The dialogue crackles with naturalistic flair. The plotting is breezy and surprising. Plus, while Reid’s feel for both the funny and the political is undeniable, she imbues her flawed heroes with real heart." (Entertainment Weekly)

"The most provocative page-turner of the year." (Entertainment Weekly)
"I urge you to read Such a Fun Age." (NPR)
A striking and surprising debut novel from an exhilarating new voice, Such a Fun Age is a bighearted story about race and privilege, set around a young Black babysitter, her well-intentioned employer, and a surprising connection that threatens to undo them both.
Alix Chamberlain is a woman who gets what she wants and has made a living with her confidence-driven brand, showing other women how to do the same. So she is shocked when her babysitter, Emira Tucker, is confronted while watching the Chamberlains' toddler one night, walking the aisles of their local high-end supermarket. The store's security guard, seeing a young Black woman out late with a White child, accuses Emira of kidnapping two-year-old Briar. A small crowd gathers, a bystander films everything, and Emira is furious and humiliated. Alix resolves to make things right.
But Emira herself is aimless, broke, and wary of Alix's desire to help. At 25, she is about to lose her health insurance and has no idea what to do with her life. When the video of Emira unearths someone from Alix's past, both women find themselves on a crash course that will upend everything they think they know about themselves and each other.
With empathy and piercing social commentary, Such a Fun Age explores the stickiness of transactional relationships, what it means to make someone "family", and the complicated reality of being a grown up. It is a searing debut for our times.

This is embarrassing!
Getting through this audiobook was difficult when you are cringing every two sentences. I am appalled by the portrayal of both African-American and the Caucasian characters in this book. It came across as caricatures and I am sad everyone is jumping on the bandwagon that the book was 'amazing' when the dialogue of half these characters was so damn bad. This is pissing me off for anyone not of color picking up this audiobook and believing that this encompasses the black experience (how black people speak, especially when their backstories are those of college educated women (e.g. one character getting her second masters); so one-dimensional and embarrassing.

promising start but nothing else
the most interesting part of this book is outlined in the synopsis. after that.. nothing. the characters are boring and their interactions are superficial. Emira spent the book drifting aimlessly. Alix's business backstory was badass but in the present she'd transformed into a useless puddle of indecision. every time kelley spoke, my eyes rolled into my brain. the high drama of the interaction that kicks the book off peters out into nothing as you spend the next 8 hours listening to conversations and interactions that are pointless, pretentious, or cringeworthy and ultimately lead nowhere. Briar's toddler outbursts were the only bits of dialogue that were enjoyable. the narrator, however, was great - she gave the main characters very distinctive voices.

Teen Scream?
Was there a plot or just aimless anecdotes? Desperately seeking a plot, a refund, maybe a clue. Clearly a ramble into the young adult or early childhood section.

Wow
I’ll admit it. I’m a mood reader. I’m also easily influenced and find myself often tracking down a book I’ve seen heavily discussed on social media. I always want to see if the hype is really all it’s cracked up to be. I had seen this book being discussed on social media but decided I definitely had to get it when it was chosen for Reese’s January book of the month pick. I usually listen to audiobooks slowly, while I get ready for work, on my commute, while working out, cooking dinner etc. It often takes me a week or so to finish a 10-12 hour audio book. I started this book January 2nd around 1 o’clock and finished on January 3rd around 10 pm. I could NOT stop listening. The narrator is probably the best I’ve listened to since becoming an audible member over a year ago. I loved her voices for the characters, her inflection made the story even better. The writing was so light and airy and flowed so well. I honestly kept guessing throughout the story about what would happen. Not only is this an entertaining read but it addresses so many social issues without being preachy or cramming one’s beliefs down the reader’s throat. I’m honestly sad I’m finished with it. Book hangover for sure. If this is the author’s debut novel I can’t wait to get my hands on her next. WOW!

Entertaining and Accurate
As a young African-American woman I can definitely attest that this book accurately depicts the delicate and very complex relationships between black women and their white women employers. So many familiar moments and Déjà vu in this story. Also, touched on .. interracial relationships and those uncomfortable nuisances that can serve as reminders that sometimes there’s a thin line between “wokeness” and ignorance.

Pointless
I’m 4 hrs into and still don’t see a point to the story. It so far has not been as provocative as the synopsis promised. There is too much mindless dialogue and the only positive thing about the book is the narrator. I don’t think I can finish listening to the book. I might keep it on the back burner for when I’m out of credits.

Worth the Pre-Order
I pre-ordered the kindle and audible version of this book and I’m glad I did. It’s a well- weaved story that I want my book club and friends to all read, as I could barely get through five pages at a time without identifying another source of conversation. This is a story filled with ideas and commentary which deserve discussion, really actually necessitate discussion. I found the protagonist really dull through most of the book, but having reached the end, I think I see the utility of that. The narrator for the Audible version has a beautiful voice but she (and the producer) could have done a lot more to differentiate the voices of the black characters. They ALL-despite being from geographically and socially diverse backgrounds— spoke like a Hollywood casting director said “be more Black”, which was confusing, then annoying, then offensive. Worthy read, though.
