Margot Sanchez Sparknotes
The book The Education of Margot Sanchez by Lilliam Rivera reminds me of a telenovela (a spanish soap opera). It has a bunch of twist and turns and is an entertaining read. It talks about family, school, having a confusing love life, and being blind to the world around you. The themes of this book are being yourself no matter what and look deeper than just the surface are the main reasons why I read this book. I was interested to see how the main character Margot Sanchez handled her situation as it maybe could help me handle situations better.

The first theme I want to talk about is be yourself no matter what. Margot, the main character, is playing a serious game of follow the leader. She tries to become her new rich friends Camille

    I liked this book mainly because of how different it was compared to my lifestyle and how entertaining it was. Nikki turner didn’t really sugar coat much so I felt I was watching a movie and saw it for what it truly was. Like anyone’s guilty pleasure we all like reality television and it kind of reminded me of just that with fights and drama. The books good points that were how certain events that happen in one’s life good or bad really do shape a person into who they become. Teaching me to not be ashamed of what happens and to only use that circumstance as a motivation of some kind. For anyone that is interested in a gritty, suspenseful, and eye bulging book that keeps you wondering what’s next I would definably recommend this book to that someone willing to take a…
