5/19/2023 0 Comments Maggie by Ann M. MartinWhen Ashley leaves for college, Savvy is left to deal with their overbearing mother alone and tackle the waves of a possible new relationship with her best friend’s cousin, George. She’s more than a health nut and the residual effects of the show have been seeping on to Savvy and her sister, Ashley, ever since. After her mother participates in a weight-loss TV show, she’s never been the same. The book follows the life of Savannah, a teenage girl who is trying to maneuver the maze of adolescence while constantly being chastised by her mother to lose weight. While these are all important aspects in creating a bomb-ass Young Adult novel, the main ingredient that made To Be Honest such an exceptional read is its emphasis on self-acceptance. To Be Honest by Maggie Ann Martin is about a lot of things learning to live with an overbearing mother, maintaining healthy relationships and learning to love. I know it’s a weird way to start off a review but there were so many instances when I wanted to just comfort the main character and tell her that she’s perfect and that she doesn’t have to freak out about her family situation or relationships or her weight.
