HS senior Ni Chen decides to offer college admissions essay writing, not so much for the $300 she earns each time, but to redeem herself as a person. Her mom abandoned her and her dad is emotionally inaccessible. Great YA novel in verse.

“When someone doesn‘t have an interest in you, you stop having an interest in yourself. “

This quote really hit me hard.

This put a unique twist on YA. I liked it. Three hours on audio.

I read this for #Booked2020 - YA by POC
#DoubleSpin book #BookSpinBingo

This was okay. A quick listen but it didn‘t sound like it was written in verse to me. Nice cheats on her boyfriend and he transfers schools (really?) and the whole school blames her. She seemed to love him more after they broke up then when they were together..

I‘m just over YA and only read this for prompts

Cinfhen, BarbaraTheBibliophage, alisiakae, TheAromaofBooks

BarbaraTheBibliophage Meh. Hope it wasn‘t too long. Maybe we need to give YA a break in 2021 prompts. I much prefer middle grade if I can‘t read adult. 4y

Laughterhp Also I keep forgetting it‘s the Readathon this week for #AwesomeAugust 3rd book finished I believe @Andrew65 4y

Laughterhp @BarbaraTheBibliophage Luckily it was only 3 hours long. I‘m starting to prefer middle grade too if I don‘t read adult. 4y

Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 4y

Cinfhen Ha, what we don‘t do for challenges!!! YA is usually not my thing at all but lately for challenges I read a few and they were all REALLY GOOD!!! I was so pleasantly surprised 4y

TheAromaofBooks YA is really hit or miss for me. Sometimes I feel like an author tries too hard to make it YA, and instead just comes through has angsty and not very interesting. 4y

Both #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin books are both audiobooks this month. I‘m really excited for both these books. The tagged book I‘m using for Coming of Age story for #SummerFun and YA by POC for #Booked2020. I‘m also really excited to get into the first book of dust.

TheAromaofBooks I quite like the cover for The Book of Dust. 5y

I expected more from this book. It was good, but not memorable. I also feel like the issues were touched on but not fully fleshed out. Interesting idea, though

RebL I wanted this book to reflect the frustration we experienced last application season. Hmm. 6y

And the icing on the good reading day cake was that I finished a book! Yay!

A novel mostly written in verse was exactly what I needed. While not without flaws, this book touches on some important issues and, though the main character may not always make the best choices, I found her extremely relatable.

Did not realize this was in verse which means I'm even more in love.
