Welcome to Litsy!

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

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.

Day 16 of @bookriot‘s #riotgrams is #TBR. Here‘s some of my to reads for the next few weeks. I‘m still struggling to get used to the having a baby reality of reading - this stack reflects a pre baby reading weeks 😜 I‘m sure these will take three times as long now!

⭐️3/5
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

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.
