This novel tells the story of Alix, a well-to-do, girlboss archetype white woman, and Emira, a 25-year-old, down-on-her-luck Black woman who nannies Alix's 2-year-old daughter, Briar. When a grocery-store security guard thinks Emira has kidnapped Briar and a video of the incident is shared online, things fall to pieces. Rich with layers of subtext, Kiley Reid's Such a Fun Age will have readers thinking about the difficult situations this book brings up and considering how relevant they are in our modern world.
