I would love to have seen more character development and depth with both characters. That being said, I wasn’t a large fan of Emira’s character either, but she did show a little more growth as a person towards the end. I was appalled by several of her choices. Alix was very unlikeable and had very few redeeming qualities. As the story went on, I became more disappointed in the characters. The story begins with a racially-charged scene in a grocery store that was well-written and piqued my interest. I can tell you the audio was entertaining, and I can see why this has been called a 'compulsively readable' book. It is a hard one to review, and I was left with conflicted feelings. 'I have seen a lot of buzz about this book, and I was intrigued. But overall it’s still a fun and enjoyable read, and one I wasn’t expecting to like so much.' post shared by Julia photo posted by on I think Emira’s growth and arc deserved a better conclusion and the ending just completely ruined Alix’s character for me. The characterization was great, which is why I found the ending so disappointing. I liked how it wasn’t overly serious, but the themes were handled well and integrated into the story for us to realize rather than be forced upon us. It shows how sometimes when we overstep and the more we try to help, the worse we make things. The novel is an interesting look at themes of racism, motherhood, privilege, and growth. But then Emira is confronted by a security guard at a fancy grocery store and accused of kidnapping Briar-Alix’s child-everything changes. While Emira is a 25-year-old college graduate who has no idea what she wants to do with her life, Alix is a successful blogger with a seemingly perfect life. 'I didn’t think I would enjoy Such a Fun Age since it’s not something I usually read, but the writing flowed so well that I just breezed through the book! Such a Fun Age is about two very different women, Emira Tucker-a babysitter-and her boss, Alix Chamberlain. A post shared by Ciera photo posted by on
