I am so happy I discovered the We Are Bookish Book Club Kit for By the Book before my cousins and I started reading it for our book club! This kit has been such a helpful resource, making our discussions even more engaging and structured. As a former teacher, and with my cousin currently teaching 5th grade, we both love having a guide to keep our conversations focused and meaningful.
The discussion questions have sparked some fantastic conversations, and the extra features—like the author interview, book recommendations, and fun activities—have made our meetings even more enjoyable. The content warning is a thoughtful inclusion, making it easier for everyone to engage with the book comfortably.
This kit has really leveled up our reading experience, and I can't recommend it enough for other book clubs.

As always I appreciated how well-fleshed out these characters were. I always love how Guillory includes real-life struggles for her characters to work through. Even the characters who seem to have it all also have personal challenges.
Both Izzy and Beau were working through issues and watching them move through that and grow together was immensely satisfying. Even though this wasn't as steamy as some of her prior works, in my opinion the level of romance fit this story perfectly.

I love these book club kits. They are beautifully made and easy to follow. I absolutely love the layout. Extremely beautiful!
I like that there is a content warning in this kit. That is something most books lack, so it is nice to see that it has been a thought that some topics might be harder for some people to read than others.
Moreover, in this kit, there is an interview with the author of the book, Jasmine Guillory.
Also, there are of course a bunch of discussion questions you can use in your book club when reading and talking about the book.
There is even an interview with the cover designer and matching bookmarks.
This is a very beautiful book kit. I absolutely recommend this for you in a book club or even for you, who just want to get to know Jasmine Guillory and “By the book” better

As a Disney fan myself, I was super excited to get the chance to see what Jasmine Guillory's thoughts were about this story. My friends and I loved this kit and the discussion questions were a great way to get us thinking more deeply about the story. My favorite part of this kit was the pen name generator. I also loved the book recommendations at the end of the kit. I am always looking for more romance recs so being able to get some insight about what is new is always helpful. I loved this book club kit and it really enhanced the experience of the story so much for me.

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

The book club kit for *By the Book* by Jasmine Guillory is a fantastic way to wrap up the available books in this series. As my fourth kit, I’ve come to really appreciate how each one has added a special layer of depth to the reading experience, and this one was no exception. The kit includes insightful discussion questions that sparked some lively conversations about the book’s themes of love, literature, and finding your own voice. I especially enjoyed the bonus activities, which encouraged readers to explore the book’s literary references and even create their own romantic story ideas. It’s clear a lot of thought went into making this kit engaging and interactive. I’m genuinely hopeful that they’ll continue making these kits for future releases in the series—they’re such a fun and enriching way to engage with the books, and I can’t wait to see what’s next!

This is such a great addition to reading the book, and I love the bookmarks because the cover is so adorable!

Izzy and Beau were the cutest ever! This was such a great book. It was a sweet romantic comedy perfect for those who love fairytales and happy endings.
Special thanks to NetGalley and Jasmine Guillory for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest thoughts.

These bookclub kits are an invaluable resource for your book club! Alot goes into running a book club, especially when you want the meetings to be filled with fun games, yummy food, and good conversation. However it's easy when you have access to a book club kit like this one. There are multiple games, quizzes, printable bookmarks, and even recipes for a themed meal and mocktail/cocktail. I especially love that there is an included interview with the author and guided discussion topics for your group. This would be great if you are intimidated by starting your own bookclub and aren't sure where to start

This is an awesome resource to go along with reading By the Book. This series of books is very entertaining as updated and contemporary stories. This particular story is a updated retelling of Beauty and the Beast. The materials are a great supplement and provide ample discussion topics for book clubs.

It's so refreshing to find a publisher that does this and gives you book marks and writing prompts. My group read this before, but we're going to use this for a fun review of the series!!
Thank you!!

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.
