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.

A great guide to discuss this book within my bookclub, this guide was very helpful. I really recommand it!

An excellent book club kit! Highly recommended for facilitating in depth discussion around the book and its themes. Looking forward to using this one with my book club soon.

Thank you for the book club kit! Local moms and I will be reading this book next month. I am to have this kit as a resource for our discussion.

Really good resource for book clubs! Also great that there are also resources included for mental health, very relevant!

speechless. in awe. need time to process the sheer brilliance and tenderness of this masterpiece. will be back with a proper review soon. i wish i could give this a hundred stars out of five.

I didn’t exactly use this as a book club kit—more like a companion for my solo reread of Beautiful World, Where Are You. If you, like me, prefer to read alone, it's a great resource.
The interview with the publisher was a nice touch. They’ve probably spent more time with this book than anyone else, so it’s always interesting to hear what they’ve got to say.
As for the crumble recipe—perfect for baking and devouring solo (with your hands and fresh out of the oven)

I absolutely loved the Book Club Kit! It's the perfect resource for anyone looking to enhance their reading experience and spark deeper discussions. The kit is well-organized, with insightful discussion questions, author interviews, and thoughtful suggestions for related books. It really helped guide our group's conversation and made the reading experience feel even more engaging. The additional materials, like background information on the book and its themes, provided context that enriched our understanding. Whether you're in a formal book club or just looking to dive deeper into a novel, this kit is a must-have. Highly recommend!

This was a great book club kit. I used it to guide my reading for my book club, and was pleasantly surprised at how widely it is used. Two of the facilitators of my 6 book clubs used this specific guide.

As always I love the Book Club Kits for Reading and Discussion that Net Galley puts together. Not only does it have excellent questions that save time in getting conversations jump started, but it takes me in different directs than I would normally take the group. Not only is this unexpected and refreshing because its not me posing the questions but 'The Guide' so its feel less directed by me, but you have included a themed recipe we can snack on and resources.
This time I did something different with our Literary Fiction group. I gave out the Guide before we began to read the book so people could think about topics and questions before hand. On the day of our group, I cut all the questions I to strips and put them in a Discussion Jar and each person picked a question and we ran the group with that person Hosting the discussion of the question.
Thanks for another great guide!

Another great book kit from the NetGalley team! This has all of the elements you’d need to run a book club discussion on Beautiful World, Where Are You from an author interview to group discussion questions. There are also content warnings for folks looking at this before deciding whether the book is right for their group.
Similar to the other book kits, I think the “What to read next” section is a great way to keep the momentum going by selecting a new book after concluding the group’s discussion.

Who isn't reading Sally Rooney? I bet your book club is, and highly recommend you to check out this kit to streamline the discussions!

Excellent questions to spark conversation,
Added fun bits like trivia related to the book and books you can read after. Excellent

A great book club kit for Sally Rooney's Beautiful World where are you. Gives questions and answers that may be used in a book club. Bookmarks that you can cut out and keep and a lovely recipe for Fruit Crumble.

I used this after I met up with a friend who had also read the book and it really helped lead our discussion of the book! I’m excited at the prospect of using something similar to help lead discussions with our whole group. The discussion questions were insightful but also broad enough to allow the conversation to follow naturally. My one minor critique is that it is quite a few pages which would make it difficult to print out a copy for each member of our club. It’s definitely a great resource and I hope to see more like it in the future.
