I enjoyed this book club kit. It has though-provoking discussion questions and fun features. I especially love the "How far would you make it in 'Before Midnight'?" quiz - I'd love a quiz like this in all the book club kits!

This was an awesome guide for my monthly book club! I have never seen a publisher do this for a book besides the small little sections that you usually get at the end of a book, so I am very impressed! Thanks so much!

I love all the additional extras that go beyond the book discussion. I would have liked more or different suggestions for further reading; they felt limited and it looked like they were all contemporary. I coordinate multiple book clubs and I love when books have kits or even discussion questions and/or reading guides. Yes, as readers we can come up with our own questions, but these kinds of documents can provide additional inspiration.

Book Club Guide feedback:

This is genuinely SO fun and something I’ll be suggesting for my clubs next read! This guide is filled with not only fantastic questions - but the Before Midnight quiz was adorable and the shoe design challenge is SO fun and ties in so well. I also love the future recommendations and the inclusion of diverse stories and authors! Such a great book club compendium!


If the Shoe Fits feedback:

I genuinely loved this book. Reading a rom com that also left me feeling confident and sexy in my own (plus sized) skin? That’s a good read. Plus, any fan of the bachelor will love the premise! I also really enjoyed that though this was a play on Cinderella, the did not make the step family “wicked”, but instead they were lovely and supportive.

Definitely recommend for a light fun read with a lot of heart.

I really enjoy these book club kits! They are a great way to get a leg up on bringing engaging questions to your book club and having a great conversation. Thank you NetGalley for my book club kit for If the Shoe Fits!

I really enjoyed using this kit along with the book. It helped greatly with discussion question ideas and helped us stay organized during discussion. I wish all books came with something like this.

"A dream is a wish your heart makes..."

A modern-day fairytale. Cinderella meets his prince charming in a JFK flight. Meeting again in a "The bachelor"-ish reality TV Show. Could it be fate or coincidence?

I love how the story tackles love for family, teaching us not to judge anyone base on their appearance and being appreciative. Finding love in the time you didn't really expect. Appreciating self worth.

If you're the type of person who believes in reality TV show and meet your true love, then this book is a must read.

This is such an adorable book club kit! I love the unique ideas for cosplay, the discussion questions, and all of the activities to do. There is even a pizza recipe and a drink to make for book club that would give a great vibe to the meeting. Also, the book recommendations at the end of the guide are perfect for anyone who enjoyed If the Shoe Fits.

This is such a fun, engaging book club kit! I love reading interviews with authors, and hearing about what inspired them to write their novel. 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.

I like the book club kit. It’s a great addition to the book.
I think learning about the author and the process adds another layer to the reading experience.
The questions are always fun and make for a good discussion.
The added complete the shoe styling was a nice bonus.
Overall a good idea

This Book Club Kit was great. I loved the interview with the author which allows more insight into the book. The bookmarks really came in handy. The activities are cute and the recipes are wonderful for a book club meeting.

The suggestions of what to read next along with other books written by Julie Murphy was helpful.

The Book Club Kit is definitely something I would recommend to go with the book.

This is a hearty recommend from me. If you haven't read the book yet, do so! I was overjoyed to read this book but am even happier to see that there's a book club kit! As usual, it contains discussion questions, an author interview, bookmarks, a fun quiz, fun challenge. The author herself has also suggested questions, which is amazing.

I adored the If the Shoe Fits Book Club kit. I host a large number of book clubs and looking for ways to creatively up my game for a meeting can be exhausting. My readers would love if I utillized even 1/3 of the items included in the kit and there is a wide-enough range that that I could use different pieces for differnet book clubs. This is an incredible time saver, a fun add to a book club, and a professional spin on on a book club gathering. Thank you!

What a perfect little kit for a buddy read or a book club and even for an individual. I love the content warning at the beginning as I feel this is something that should be included in all books.
The book marks are beautiful. I loved the quiz's and challenges, the bingo and the Pizza Recipe.
This is an all round amazing kit and who doesn't love a retelling of a classic fairy tale!

I love Julie Murphy and I love seeing plus sized characters get the romances they deserve. Getting this kit was literally perfect. I loved the little challenges and recipes.

This is a fun book to do a buddy read/ book club read , if you're looking for something light hearted and charming. It's not too easy to figure out discussion points though, and that's where this guide comes in useful!
