The Shoe Design Challenge is going to drive everyone wild, but not as much as the Disney Bounding Challenge! Our book club meeting is about to turn into a delightfully fun competition.
The pizza recipe and cocktail recipe were also great additions, we’re definitely making them together, and it’s going to be a blast.
This was such a fun kit, full of creative ideas to liven up any book club gathering!

Another wonderful.Book Club Kit that invites lots of great discussion and thinking....two of the best aspects of book club. Well that and food and fun and you have covered as well. Cos play the book for book club night then design a shoe while making pizza! This is a happening party that will get everyone coming back foe the next book!

Amazing book kit. So many fun and useful activities. I love the quizzes, discussion questions, challenges, recipes. Such an amazing kit to pair with this book!

I really enjoyed the little Q&A section at the beginning. It sets the tone by giving the readers a glimpse of what to expect from the book and offers insight into the author’s thought process of the book. The bookmarks included are absolutely adorable and a thoughtful touch that every book club member will appreciate.

What I found especially creative were the recipes and the activity of designing a shoe or dress inspired by a Disney character. These help encourage everyone to express their creativity and add a fun, interactive dimension to the reading experience.

Overall, this kit includes all the perfect essentials to enhance any book club meeting!

Well put together and helpful book club kit. I loved having this a resource for potential book clubs for my library in the future.

So good for bookclubs.
Whether you’re a seasoned club host or just starting out, this Book Club Kit is a total game-changer! It includes everything you need to spark great conversations—thought-provoking discussion questions, author Q&As, and ideas to set the mood.

What I loved most? The kit makes reading feel like an experience, not just a solo activity. It brings the book to life in a whole new way and helps everyone connect deeper with the story—and with each other.

This book club kit is pretty comprehensive, and has a mix of discussion prompts and activities that could be done during the book club meeting (quizzes, crafts). It is very Cindy-centric though, and I would have liked more questions about Cindy and Henry. There are also next book recommendations, which is helpful for book clubs that find it hard to decide what to read next!

This Book Club Kit for If the Shoe Fits is a game-changer for anyone looking to elevate their book club experience. It’s packed with insightful discussion questions, fun activities, and even personalized book recommendations—everything you need to spark lively conversations and keep your group engaged. The materials are beautifully designed and easy to use, making both virtual and in-person meetings feel seamless.

This is a good book with a good story line. I just think it was too predictable. So that makes this book not for me.

This is a cool book club kit. I like the discussion questions as they are a good conversation tool while conducting a book club meeting.
The “How far would you make it to midnight” looks fun as well. Bingo is a plus in itself, who doesn’t love bingo! This is probably one of the best ones I’ve seen, it has an enough to have a book club meeting well over an hour.

I love Cinderella-inspired stories, and this book had such a fun and dramatic premise. But I really wished there was more depth. The characters and romance felt rushed—like it needed at least 50 more pages to fully develop. The insta-love was a bit too much for me; I wanted more emotional build-up and slower, meaningful moments. Still, it was an enjoyable read with a charming concept!

I love these interactive book club kits! Even if you're not reading the particular book featured, these kits provide tons of inspiration for book clubs. Definitely keeping the bingo idea in my back pocket!

Thanks NetGalley!

I love this kit so much! 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. An amazing and thought provoking book club kit for If The Show Fits by Julie Murphy!

This is a great idea to assist book clubs. While I don't currently participate in a book club I wanted to see what this included.

This kit did exactly what was expected. It is cute, fun and functional. I would defiantly recommend.

Amazing book club kit for Julie Murphy's IF SHE SHOE FITS from We Are Bookish/NetGalley! 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! Definitely recommend to use this for book club meetings!

This book club kit will help me to read If the Shoe Fits, 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.

Super fun idea!! I'll be doing this with my friends for our April bookclub. Can't wait to play book bingo!

charming, feel-good romantic comedy that delivers both heart and humor with a dash of fairy-tale magic. The novel centers around Cindy, a plus-size fashion designer who unexpectedly finds herself competing for a coveted spot on a reality dating show. As she steps into the world of glittering glamour and larger-than-life personalities, Cindy must navigate the highs and lows of public life while staying true to herself.

Murphy, known for her knack for writing authentic, body-positive characters, brings Cindy to life with depth and wit. Cindy is a breath of fresh air—confident, kind, and unapologetically herself in a world that often sidelines people who don’t fit conventional beauty standards. The beauty of If the Shoe Fits lies not only in the romance but also in Cindy’s journey of self-empowerment, self-love, and navigating societal expectations.

The romance, which blooms in the midst of the reality show chaos, is sweet, slow-burning, and filled with tension, making it impossible not to root for the couple. The love story unfolds against the backdrop of a bright and colorful world, with a perfect blend of humor and vulnerability that keeps the pages turning.

What makes If the Shoe Fits even more enjoyable is its clever commentary on fame, the pressure of social media, and the superficial aspects of reality TV. Through Cindy’s eyes, the reader is reminded of the importance of staying true to oneself, even when the world seems fixated on the surface.

Julie Murphy’s writing is engaging and accessible, making this book an easy and delightful read.
The book club kit was delightful and made reading the book more delightful.

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!!!
