PositiveThe Women\'s Review of Books... thought-provoking ... Reid imbues Such a Fun Age with characters that, while not necessarily likeable or morally perfect, prompt the reader to critically reflect on their own role in and experience with racism, both direct and implicit ... By the end of the novel, the characters’ destinations look much the same as their starting points. Despite all they have been through, personal growth remains elusive and accountability is all but ignored. (This is a missed opportunity—and reality.)
