Commentary Supposing Books 500 Words or Less

A high school senior attempts to salvage her reputation among her Ivy League–obsessed classmates by writing their college admissions essays and in the process learns big truths about herself in this mesmerizing debut novel-in-verse, perfect for fans of Gayle Forman and Sonya Sones.

Nic Chen refuses to spend her senior year branded as the girl who cheated on her charismatic and lovable boyfriend. To redefine her reputation among her Ivy League–obsessed classmates, Nic begins writing their college admissions essays.

But the more essays Nic writes for other people, the less sure she becomes of herself, the kind of person she is, and whether her moral compass even points north anymore.

Provocative, brilliant, and achingly honest, 500 Words or Less explores the heartbreak and hope that marks the search for your truest self.

Notice About Books 500 Words or Less

3.5/5 StarsThis book explores the theme of loss on so many levels: the loss of a mother who ran away without looking back, the loss of first love, the loss of the closest friends you ever had, and also in part the loss of yourself. I liked how most of these themes were tackled and I appreciated Nic's internal monologue and reflections. By deciding to start the college application essays business she definitely discovers more about others, but mostly importantly she discloses parts of herself

Note: I had the pleasure of meeting Juleah del Rosario at BookNet Fest 2o18 where we invited her to speak on a couple of panels. She was phenomenal, especially as we talked about intersectionalism in fiction. What I liked about this book: I read it in an hour and it made me think and feel. It had some poignant moments as they pertained racism, privilege, the misogyny baked into people's reactions to infidelity, abandonment, loneliness and grief.

Maybe I was broken inside,with a moral compassthat no longer pointed north.Or maybe I just wanted to be wanted,to be heard,to be seen,by someone.Anyone. ✰✰ Rep: biracial mc (half-Chinese, half-white)TW: cheating, death, loneliness, slut-shaming, parental abandonment.I don't know if books written in verse is not my thing, but what I know is that this book wasn't for me.In 500 Words or Less we follow Nic Chen who started her senior year after she went through a breakup after she cheated on her

Nic had lost a lot in the past two years. She lost her mother, her boyfriend, her friends, herself. Her senior year was not the one she imagined, but it was the one, where she came to understand herself and others, step by step, in 500 words or less.This book was not a lighthearted read. It was raw, real, and painful at times. There was a layer of sadness, which got thicker and thicker, until I was full-on crying. Eventually, though, some light broke through, and hope emerged in the end.Nic was

There was nothing particularly wrong with this book, but it was just so mediocre that I know I won't think about it ever again. I didn't really understand why this book needed to be written in verse because it stunted the delivery of the book, but if the author had chosen to written the whole book out instead, it would have probably been so boring and just as unremarkable. Although this book had a cool aim and cast of characters, we weren't really let in to know a lot about them, so it fell

I liked this one because of main oc went through so much and made a lot of reckless decisions and became more of it. The ending was tragic and touching.
