“Such a Fun Age” by Kiley Reid follows Emira Tucker, a 25-year-old Black woman who works as a babysitter for the wealthy white Chamberlain family. When Emira is wrongfully accused of kidnapping Briar, the Chamberlain child, during a late-night errand, she finds herself at the center of a racial and social confrontation. The novel explores themes of race, privilege, and identity, focusing on the complexities of being a young Black woman in spaces dominated by white people. It examines the power dynamics in relationships, critiquing white saviorism, and the tension between personal and professional lives.
