La novela revelación que marca el nacimiento de una nueva estrella literaria. El debut que se ha catapultado a lo más alto de las listas a ambos lados del Atlántico.

Los mejores años es una novela debut sorprendente e impactante de una nueva y emocionante voz. Es una historia conmovedora y de gran corazón sobre la raza y el privilegio, ambientada alrededor de una joven niñera negra, su empleadora bien intencionada y una conexión sorprendente que amenaza con deshacerlas a ambas.

Alix Chamberlain es una mujer que siempre consigue lo que quiere y ha creado un negocio basado en su marca de confianza, mostrando a otras mujeres cómo hacer lo mismo. Así que se sorprende cuando su niñera, Emira Tucker, es confrontada mientras cuidaba al hijo pequeño de los Chamberlain una noche, caminando por los pasillos del supermercado de alta gama de su vecindario. El guardia de seguridad de la tienda, al ver a una joven mujer negra tarde con un niño blanco, acusa a Emira de secuestrar a Briar, de dos años. Una pequeña multitud se reúne, un espectador lo filma todo, y Emira está furiosa y humillada. Alix se propone hacer las cosas bien.

Pero Emira misma está perdida, sin dinero y desconfiada del deseo de Alix de ayudarla. A los veinticinco años, está a punto de perder su seguro de salud y no sabe qué hacer con su vida. Cuando el video de Emira saca a alguien del pasado de Alix, ambas mujeres se encuentran en un curso de colisión que trastornará todo lo que creen saber sobre sí mismas y entre sí.

Con empatía y un agudo comentario social, Los mejores años explora la pegajosidad de las relaciones transaccionales, lo que significa convertir a alguien en "familia" y la complicada realidad de ser un adulto.

LONGLISTED FOR THE 2020 BOOKER PRIZE

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A REESE'S BOOK CLUB x HELLO SUNSHINE BOOK PICK

"The most provocative page-turner of the year." --Entertainment Weekly

"I urge you to read Such a Fun Age." --NPR

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.

With empathy and piercing social commentary, Such a Fun Age explores the stickiness of transactional relationships, what it means to make someone "family," and the complicated reality of being a grown up. It is a searing debut for our times.

Diverse, hilarious, and fun
Format: Paperback
This was soooo fun, and what it lacked in patchy storytelling made up for in its incredible art and lovable characters. The main character is latina, fat, and queer, the love interest is black and queer (yes, it's f/f romance!), and the prominent side character is non-binary, queer, and literally a mix of kenji and kuzco from the emporer's new groove (they were SO sweet but funny and definitely my favorite part of the book). Not to mention all of these characters are mythological creatures! I loved reading the characters' interactions because the banter was so cute and fun, both platonic and romanticly. The action began to get a bit confusing toward the end and I wish it was explained better what was happening, but I loved the world building and the characters' relationships with each other so I'm definitely continuing this series.

Format: Paperback
It's cute book. the art is great and really helps to set the scene of this magical world. I took issue with the characters and the narrative. The main character is a werewolf who is very self conscious about it but it's never really clear since apparently, there are not only plenty of werewolves but also people who can shift into other animals. Her best friend is a centaur who I found a little grating with his "lol XD so random" personality. I didn't find much fault with the girlfriend character but I didn't understand their relationship. the main character starts the book having had one date with her girlfriend they seem to have some issues (over what I thought was very minor things) and decide at the end of the book to go to couple's therapy to solve them but like, they weren't together for that. I assume maybe a month has passed, just break up. I just didn't understand that. The narrative itself didn't seem tight. One character has cryptic visions that didn't really seem to pan out or really have the gravity she seemed to put to them. there is a meta narrative involving a book the main character likes and the events in that book mirror the events in the comic but I didn't really see it that strongly and it seemed to have little use. The main conflict seems to be solved very quickly and with little fanfare. All in all, it's not a bad book. i just found it a bit weak. It's not amazing, nor above average. But it's also not garbage or terrible. It's won't have the greatest of appeal but I'm not upset I bought it and it's not a waste of time. However, I wouldn't read any additional work of this series.
