To Be Honest is an own-voice story about a fat girl named Savannah, who’s learned to love her body regardless of its size. I’m sorry that someone taught you to hate yourself because of your body somewhere along the way, but I’m not going to let you pull me down with you.” Literally nothing about my life is changed because that word is associated with my physical appearance. To Be Honest falls into that last category, and as soon as I heard about this book, I knew I absolutely had to get my hands on it. I don’t read “fluffy” contemporary titles very often if I do, it’s probably either because it’s a random, rare exception, a nostalgic favorite, or diverse in some way that I can’t pass up the opportunity to promote the story and author. As Savvy and George grow closer, they help each other discover how to live in the moment and enjoy the here and now before it disappears. And then she meets George, the cute new kid at school who has insecurities of his own. What she doesn’t count on is that her mother’s obsession with weight has only grown deeper since her appearance on an extreme weight-loss show, and now Savvy’s mom is pressuring her even harder to be constantly mindful of what she eats.īetween her mom’s diet-helicoptering, missing her sister, and worrying about her collegiate future, Savvy has enough to worry about. But if she can just get through senior year, she’ll be able to escape to college, too. SYNOPSIS: Savannah is dreading being home alone with her overbearing mother after her sister goes off to college.
