AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A REESE'S BOOK CLUB x HELLO SUNSHINE BOOK PICK
A striking and surprising debut novel from an exhilarating new voice, Such a Fun Age is a page-turning and big-hearted 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 twenty-five, 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.

Zusammenfassung
ONE OF THE BIGGEST BREAKOUT DEBUTS OF THE YEAR: Such a Fun Age debuted on the New York Times bestseller list at #3 and has been on the list for 13 weeks. Since its hardcover publication, enthusiasm and reader response has only grown, with continuous mentions in "must-read" roundups, and no signs of slowing down.
TIMELY, RELEVANT, AND IMPORTANT: This is an important, timely book that has become even more relevant over the past few months during this national conversation. Readers are drawn to this book for its nuanced look at race and class, as well as its accessible humor and storytelling, as steady sales (months after initial pub) have clearly shown.
MAJOR ACCLAIM, MEDIA, AND LOVE FOR HARDCOVER: Starting with the BEA Buzz panel, the enthusiasm for Such a Fun Age has been phenomenal, with glowing reviews and profiles in outlets such as The New York Times, NPR, People, Elle, Vogue, Entertainment Weekly, Marie Claire, Vanity Fair, Real Simple, and more. Kiley Reid had a 19-city book tour and countless virtual events, and she and the novel have become a bookseller and librarian favorite, with #1 Indie Next Pick and #1 LibraryReads Pick selections.
A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK: In January 2020, Reese Witherspoon & Hello Sunshine selected Such a Fun Age for their monthly book club, with immense support coming from Witherspoon; celebrity influencers, including Lena Waithe, Issa Rae, and Sarah Jessica Parker; and the book club's social media reach, with over 1.4M Instagram followers.
YOUNG AND IMPRESSIVE DEBUT AUTHOR: While earning her MFA at the Iowa Writers' Workshop, Kiley Reid was awarded the prestigious Truman Capote Fellowship, and her fiction has been featured in several literary magazines and journals, including Ploughshares, December, New South, and Lumina.
THE PERFECT PERSONAL BACKGROUND: In her early twenties, Reid spent six years working as a babysitter in wealthy Manhattan, mirroring her protagonist and lending her novel a level of authenticity and relatability that Reid speaks to.
GENRE EXCELS IN PAPERBACK: As seen with the paperback success of another homegrown Putnam title, The Immortalists, and other "big idea" novels like Little Fires Everywhere and An American Marriage, this category performs very well in the paperback format, even doubling or tripling hardcover sales.
