Julie Murphy absolutely never misses for me. Feeling very emotional right now about the amount of comfort and joy her books bring me and this was no exception.

me: I'm kinda sick of Cinderella retellings
Julie Murphy: here's my first Adult novel and it is a Cinderella retelling with a plus-size main character
me: SIGN ME UP!!!

I love this kit so much! My book club will be reading If The Shoe Fits in January. The bookmarks are great, colorful and fun. I love the discussion prompts, the quiz and the challenges. Definitely want to decorate my own glass slipper! I also love that it comes with a pizza and drink recipe. This kit includes everything to have the perfect book club night.

The Book Club Kit for If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy was a phenomenal addition to reading this book with friends! The interview with the author gave amazing insight into Murphy’s development of the characters and her thinking in writing the book. These additional pieces provided amazing context and really made us think about the characters deeply. However, my favorite part of this kit was the activities. I had so much fun with the Before Midnight quiz and the bingo card. It added a new experience to book club that was outside of the normal discussion questions and kept people engaged. I really appreciated the list of books at the end and even added several of them to my wish list! This was a fantastic addition to the book, and I am grateful to We Are Bookish for making this, and also looking forward to trying the pizza recipe!

I thought this was the book. Kind of disappointment but I should have paid more attention when signing up.

The book club kit for *If the Shoe Fits* by Julie Murphy is the perfect companion to this delightful, feel-good read! As my third book club kit, I was again impressed by how thoughtfully designed it is to enhance the reading experience. The kit includes a great mix of discussion prompts, fun activities, and deeper insights into the story’s themes of self-acceptance and finding your own path. I especially loved the questions that prompted me to think about how the book’s modern take on fairy tales resonates with real-world issues. It’s an engaging way to dive into the characters’ journeys and explore their motivations in a more interactive and meaningful way. Whether you’re reading with friends or in a formal book club, this kit offers a great way to connect with the book and each other!

I love these Book Club Kits and especially the ones that include an interview with the author. I am impressed with how well thought out these book club kits are. They always include really great extras, like the videos and the bookmarks. I think they're a great resource for a book club to use. The included discussion questions are perfect for encouraging deeper exploration of the book's characters and themes, and I loved how Netgalley began including this in request. Will definitely use in the near future with my very own book club.

Thank you so much for this book club kit! I often struggle, trying to get my events off the ground with certain readers & members of our club. This kit solved so many issues. It was easy to adapt and definitely added layers to our club experience.

This kit was helpful in fostering active and engaging conversation. Instead of just discussing opinions and the plot, it allowed the group to delve deeper.

The premise of this book is fun, dramatic and interesting but yeah, I think it should have been at least 50 pages longer to make everything feel more real. Especially the romance.

Like this book was sooo insta love and to me it was just a bit too much love at first sight and not enough slow burn and built up.
