I can't wait until next month when it's my turn to host Book Club. This kit will make it super easy to organize and keep our discussion on point (especially I make the provided cocktail recipe as a mocktail!), I enjoyed the interview with the author as she pointed out it would be an appropriate book if some of our teen daughters also attend book club. I love the idea that we could prepare a pizza from scratch, but given time constraints, it's nice to also have the suggestion of having it be a pizza bar. I think the questions are thoughtful and will engage my friends. The bookmarks are such a fun touch and I will definitely print them out on stock paper to hand out as keepsakes! Plus, I like that one of them says "choose yourself; choose joy." The people in my book club are mostly moms and it's a good reminder to have. The included Bingo card also looks great to have! Our time discussing this book will fly by quickly with this great packet & I love that we could potentially choose one of the recommendations as our next book!
It’s great if you actually read the book “If the Shoe Fits.” But I didn’t read that book, so I didn’t have use for this Kit.
I Read If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy, and I'm still grinning from ear to ear! This novel is a delightful, feel-good romance that will capture your heart and leave you feeling uplifted.The characters are so well-crafted and relatable, I found myself cheering for them from the very beginning. Cindy's sassiness and Henry's charm make for a dynamic duo that will steal your heart. Julie Murphy's writing is pure magic, with a keen attention to detail and a deep understanding of the human heart. The pacing is perfect, the dialogue is witty, and the emotional depth is remarkable. What I loved most about this book was its thoughtful exploration of themes that are both personal and universal. Murphy tackles issues of identity, self-acceptance, and love with a deft hand, crafting a narrative that feels authentic and real. The romance is sweet and swoony, with a slow burn that will leave you begging for more. I also appreciated the way Murphy wove in elements of family, friendship, and self-discovery, adding a richness and depth to the narrative. Overall, I would highly recommend If the Shoe Fits to anyone looking for a heartwarming, humorous romance that will capture their heart and imagination..Definitely Your Next 5⭐ Read..
This is the second book club kit that I download and they are just AMAZING. I thought it would have the same content than tangled up in you, but they are different and I just love it. Like I said in another review, I think that having discussion questions is essential in a bookclub to be organized and make it fun and smooth. On the other hand, the fact that in this kit are other things makes it so special.
The bookmarks based on the book are super cute! And I started laughing out loud when I saw the test because I for sure would be sent home on the first night hahaha. And the bingo is a great idea to connect with other participants and have a great moment.
Pd: I will absolutely make the pizza recipe! My mouth is watering!
I have only been familiar with Julie Murphy from her collab work with Sierra Simone. This has me very interested in checking out more of her solo work. As always, I really like the insights these bookclub kits add to the reading experience.
I read if the shoe fits a while ago and this kit is the perfect companion! I loved all the things it included like the author interview and all the fun little activities and the recipes too?? ahHH! Also the recommendations are so good, I can't wait to check them out!
Love this!! It's perfect for bookclubs, the quizzes and challenges are perfect to do as a group and there are even recipes to make for the bookclub meeting 😁!
Ich habe mich über das Buch sehr gefreut. Es ist nicht nur fließend zum lesen sondern auch sehr spannend.
Super cute!! Wish I read this with a group to fully utilize it! If I end up reading it in bookclub, I’ll definitely whip this out!
I checked this out after reading the book, which I wasn’t the biggest fan off, but it’s a great resource regardless. The activities were cute and fun, definitely work well for a book club, and the discussion topics were a standout for me.
I have used all of the Book Club Kits from the Meant To Be series, and this one was my least favorite of the bunch, maybe it's just because I wasn't a huge fan of the author's Cinderella retelling in general. But aside from that, the extras in the Book Club Kit are still really cute; the discussion questions are thorough, the bingo card print out was fun, and the pizza & cocktail recipes were great.. We even enjoyed the DIY decorate your own glass slipper craft, and prompt to recreate a modern day Disney princess outfit! The kit itself was great, so if you loved the book I would definitely recommend it!
I love this book kit!
I haven't read "If the shoe fits" yet but I'm planning to read it and this kit will go perfectly with it!
The bingo card, recipes, and disney bounding ideas are perfect! As a huge disney fan I can't wait to read this story!
I absolutely loved the Book Club Kit for If The Shoe Fits! The Meant to Be series is one of my favorites and I love how it’s a modern day retelling of the fairytales I read growing up. I have already read this book and cannot wait to discuss it with my book club that we have at work! Thank you so much We Are Bookish and netgalley for this fun prompt for our next book club read!
I love all the ideas in the "Meant to Be" book kits! Each kit is so unique. This particular kit included a shoe design challenge, book club BINGO, food and drink recipes, what to read next book suggestions, and obviously some discussion questions. There are just a few examples of what's included in the kit. This is a perfect resource for book club hosts!
I love the fresh twist this book club kit offers with the addition of BINGO and the Disneybounding challenge. These creative elements will make a fantastic addition to any book club.
"If the Shoe Fits" by Julie Murphy
Julie Murphy's "If the Shoe Fits" is a delightful and refreshing modern twist on the classic Cinderella story. Cindy, a recent shoe design graduate, finds herself thrust into the limelight on a reality dating show, bringing humor, heart, and a much-needed dose of body positivity. Murphy's engaging writing and relatable characters make this rom-com a joyous read. Cindy's journey of self-discovery and empowerment resonates deeply, offering a charming escape while subtly addressing societal issues. This book is a perfect pick for anyone looking for a feel-good, contemporary romance that champions self-love and authenticity.
These book club kits are a wonderful way to get the most out of a book. I enjoyed If the Shoe Fits, but now appreciate it on a whole new level after reading the authors insights. The book club questions are a really great way of exploring the depth of the story, beyond the basic romance plot. I never noticed the shoe detail on the cover!
Book club kits are my new obsession. They give you information on the book that you might not know. A deeper look at the author. Plus little extra activities that have to do with the book. I use these for all of the books I read.
The If the Shoe Fits Book Club Kit is a perfect resource for anyone looking at hosting a book club for this Julie Murphy book. There are lots of great resources included, such as an author interview, recipe ideas, and discussion questions. It is an all in one party kit for a perfect book club.
This is a great book club set. I love the interview with the author and then the book club questions but the best part is the extras, such as the bookmarks, quiz, bingo etc. these are great additions to the book club kit.
