After this incident, everything about Emira and Alix’s relationship changes. In the opening chapter, Emira, who babysits Alix’s older daughter, two-year-old Briar, gets accused of kidnapping the young child when she takes her to the grocery store late at night for an emergency. The two main characters are in direct tension with each other: Emira is in her mid-20s, black, and has little idea what she wants to do with her life, while Alix is in her 30s, is white, and has an established family life and career. Though it starts with Emira’s perspective, Such a Fun Age alternates almost evenly between Emira Tucker and Alix Chamberlain as it moves in a primarily chronological order of events.
