The complexity of what happens at the cross-section of racial stereotypes, especially with differing points of view, seemed compelling.I spent 80% of this book FURIOUS. For context, I’m a black woman, and that influenced how I read this book.Almost all of the characters in this book were infuriating. The character of Emira, the 25-year old college graduate with no real future, comes across as undeveloped. She’s written with three different personas: the sweet and seemingly only woman to understand and cherish three-year-old Briar (who’s complex personality is confusing for such a little person but okay); the quiet and almost uneducated employee of Alix (some of the interactions had me wondering about Temple’s degree program); and a partying, mid-twenties friend and girlfriend that is depicted as the “real” Emira. The problem is, none of the personas are written well – they all felt like underdeveloped caricatures that needed more complexity. Emira stresses about job security and health insurance the entire book, to the point of being jealous of her friend’s successes and having valid fears about paying bills – yet she didn’t start applying for ANY jobs until her friends made her? It’s one thing to not know your place in life after college; it’s another to seemingly not know how to put yourself in any position to better your situation. This is made clear over and over again. Emira, despite being surrounded by resources of all types, knows nothing about how to do better for herself. This mindset is exactly what Alix preys on, and where the complex of saviorism comes into play.Moving on to Alix. The entitlement and saviorism had me livid. I will say that I appreciated the insight into her thinking, especially when she was talking with her friends. Alix’s perspective is one that I know exists, but never will truly understand. I will never know what it could be like to be a white woman with the world – and people - at her fingertips. The best writing in this book was with Tamra, Jodi and Rachel because in those moments, I could truly appreciate the dilemmas that Alix felt she had. Otherwise, she was selfish, unaware, entitled and absolutely disgusting. Her depiction of the hell of her senior year felt overexaggerated for her to still be affected 15 years later. She’s clearly done well for herself - get over it. To find out that *spoiler alerts in the remainder of this paragraph* Kelley was right about the letter after all, and that she chose to play out a victim narrative for FIFTEEN YEARS is exactly what’s wrong with the world today. Before I found out that she invited Robbie to her house unintentionally, I didn’t have a problem with her calling the police. In that moment, those kids were trespassing on her property without her permission. But knowing that SHE KNEW at the end? GAH.I’m so furious I almost can’t finish this review. But here are a few shorter thoughts to wrap up what’s quickly becoming a novel.Kelley: I can’t decide if Kelley truly fetishizes black people/culture. His only interactions with white people were always negative – is this why he gravitates to black people or the othe way around? I don’t know. Alix went out of her way to find out that Kelley’s other girlfriends were all “lightskinned” or “exotic” and that Emira was the exception. Yet another white person in this novel who wants to save a black person, especially one with darker skin.Tamra: Yet someone else trying to save Emira, but this is supposed to be okay because black on black saviorism is okay. Yeah, no.Emira’s friends: love the support system but the characterization of slang, dress, affectation, etc. is over the top. It’s possible to be relaxed with your friends and speak properly, I promise.And then the ending? *SPOILER ALERT* What was truly resolved? Emira’s still undecided what to do with life, even after her boss literally told her to move up and on. Briar is seemingly still ignored, although it’s unclear if there’s a new black nanny in the picture. No changes from Kelley either, just back to his standard black arm candy to make himself feel better about his life choices.It only gets a two for the friendship stories – those were well written. Outside of that, I’d give this zero stars if I could and I could have done without reading this book. ### ⭐⭐ What Was This ? *by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2019* I pre-ordered this and had high hopes! Premise was very interesting, and I was anticipating a satisfying read. This book was very poorly written. The author makes sure she lets you know that she attended some prestigious workshops, but I honestly didn't see any evidence of that. Her African-American characters were almost caricatures! Even down to the syntax in the way they spoke in the book. All the characters, white and black, were outrageous parodies, it was almost comical. This read like a cheesy young adult novel !! Tantalizing premise, good early beginning -- but this is just swamped in juvenile writing and rife with racial stereotypes. I don't want to reveal spoilers, but this wasn't a good book. I felt as though it an especially egregious attempt to be "politically correct" ...and cover all those bases.. It failed miserably on several counts. What a waste of a pre-order. ..!! ### ⭐ Don't bother *by S***. on Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2020* I was looking for a short fun read to start the year and ordered this based on some book reviews. I regretted my choice by half-way through. The premise, which is what drew me in, is completely wasted in execution. It engages neither your head nor your heart, and the characters are superficial caricatures with no depth of caring or understanding. All of the characters in the book, especially the main ones, never get out of their little boxes and have no true relationships with each other. All the dialogue is stilted and the prose does not drive the story in any form. The ending is laughable and looks like the author got bored or just wanted to end my suffering. You could have put the last page at the end of the first chapter and left it at that. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/308483652-such-a-fun-age-reeses-book-club](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/308483652-such-a-fun-age-reeses-book-club) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
