Reviews of Such a Fun Age:
“The most provocative page-turner of the year.” -Entertainment Weekly
“I urge you to read Such a Fun Age.” -NPR
“Red is a sharp and delightful storyteller, with a keen eye, buoyant prose, and twists that made me gasp out loud. Such a Fun Age is a gripping page-turner with serious things to say about racism, class, gender, parenting, and privilege in modern America.” -Madeline Miller, author of Circe
“Such a Fun Age is such a fabulous book - a crisp, wry, and insightful novel about class, race, and relationships. Kiley Reid is gifted young writer with a generosity that makes her keen social eye that much funnier and sharper.” -Jess Walter, author of Beautiful Ruins
“Such a Fun Age is such a fresh voice. It’s a unique, honest portrayal of what it’s like to be a black woman in America today. Kiley Reid has delivered a poignant novel that could not be more necessary.” -Lena Waithe, Emmy award winning writer and creator
