Thank you Picador for sponsoring this kit and We Are Bookish for making it! Sally Rooney is one of my favourite authors as i IMMEDIATELY hit read now as soon as I saw this on the catalogue. This book club kit contains everything to read, discuss and enhance your reading and book clubs experience. It comes with bookmarks, recipies and author interviews! I'm assuming that our book club moderator used this kit for our last meeting! Definitely recommend to check it out!

The Book Club Kit for "Beautiful World, Where Are You" by Sally Rooney contains trigger warnings for the novel, an interview with the publisher, a discussion guide with questions designed to spark conversation, bookmarks, a recipe from a memorable scene in the book, recommendations for further reading, author trivia, and resources for those struggling with depression and mental illness.
I liked the variety of resources in this book club kit. Often, kits are limited to discussion questions and an author interview. I do wish that there was an interview with Rooney about her development and writing of this novel, particularly with regard to the inclusion of the pandemic and how her experiences influenced her writing and how she believes writers from the early 2020s' work will tell the story of that time in history. I'm always interested in hearing from writers regarding their process and their thoughts looking back at their completed work after its release and reception.
It was nice to have the trigger/content warning and the resources included as well, as books aren't often sensitive to readers in that regard.
Overall, there's a lot packed into this kit, but I wish it would have gone a little less heavy on the recommendations and a little deeper into the book itself.

Beautiful World, Where are you was one of my favourite reads of 2024, so, I also had to have a look at this book club kit. And it was great, it had an interview with the author and some similar book suggested. Great, thank you

Excellent discussion questions!
And I love the trivia, makes it fun and gives more of the feeling as if you’re playing a game.
Great what to read next recommendations!

This book club kit will help me to read Beautiful World, Where Are You, this kit will help provide analysis and make me think about questions that I otherwise wouldn't have thought of.
It will also allow a more accurate review of the book because I will have been asked questions and this kit will have provided me with an easy to read synopsis.

This Book Club kit is absolutely enchanting! If every book came with a resource like this, book club discussions would be effortless and engaging. The discussion questions serve as a great foundation while allowing for personalized conversations. I especially loved the inclusion of recipes and playlists. Huge thanks to NetGalley for this fantastic tool!

I love it when a book includes recipes and / or playlists, its such an extra.
I really appreciate a content or trigger list, not every book has it and its very useful.
I think the colors work beautifully and the fonts are very nice and easy to read.

This was so helpful for our little book group chat on X! We discussed every detail about the book, and although I didn't like it so much, I was finding out more ways to rank it. I wish there were a guide like this for every book we read.

Another really nice book club kit! I've saved a few that will be relevant to upcoming book club/buddy reads and I definitely think that some are just a bit better than others with their content. I really enjoy the recipes and having a good list of discussion questions handy! Can't wait to use this kit. :)

This was my second Sally Rooney novel, and once again, it's a story where not much happens—just melancholic characters wrestling with existential dilemmas. That said, I found myself completely immersed in their dramas and interactions, especially Simon and Eileen—I’m almost certain Simon is an INFJ, given his inability to express his feelings openly.
I really appreciate Rooney's prose; to be honest, I didn’t find the reading difficult, contrary to what some readers suggest. My only issue lies with the problematic characters, Felix and especially Lola, Alice’s sister, who is just absurdly intolerable and honestly reminded me of my childhood trauma with my brother, haha.
but yeah I enjoyed it a lot alright.
Thanks you NetGalley for including this book in the Book Club Kit.
