Mallory (onmalsshelf)’s comments from the Book Club for Introverts group.

I really enjoyed Such a Fun Age, I ended up giving it five starts. I think the fact that I listened to the audiobook helped me. I think this is a great start for a first published piece. Kiley Reid may be a force to reckoned with if she chooses to write more books.

I didn't find Alix to be likable at all (probably the point of the narrative). She came off as a spoiled rich girl who quickly took advantage of the fact her parents won money. She let the money get to her head and it affected how she treated people into adulthood. Her friends also seemed like spoiled New Yorkers who don't understand the mentality of people outside of NYC. Outside of NYC, people aren't in a rush for everything (success and other things).

I was disappointed in Recursion after how much I loved Dark Matter. The first part of Recursion made me dislike many of the characters and I found the plot messy and sometimes predictable.

Can’t wait to read along with you all.
