The Education of Margot Sanchez Lilliam Rivera Books

This book was adorable and I loved every minute reading its words. The characters were so personal, I loved the free flowing language no italics for Spanish, and it felt like I was there. I love books that engage you and leave you with a good feeling even if everything that can go wrong is going wrong in the story. I will also state that some things a universal, good parents and bad parents are something we can all relate too, honestly. Keeping your problems hidden and never letting the world see what is real, universal. Having a brother who is on drugs... universal. Even though it is set in the Bronx and I have nothing in common with any of the characters I understood her pain through pretty much the whole story. It is about a girl named Margot but everybody in her family life, and her neighborhood calls her Princesa and she hates it. She wants to be the girl who her rich white friends from her prep school think she is but honestly life doesn't work that way, we can only be who we are meant to be. So she goes through a lot of hardship having to work in her dads grocery store over the summer to pay for stealing his credit cards to impress the rich friends. She is missing out on a summer vacation and life in general. You go through her struggles with fitting in with Serena and Camilla the rich white friends, and also fitting in with Elizabeth her best friend before she started prep school. Feeling like you don't belong anywhere is a universal trait that I also think most girls have gone through in our lives, it can be suffocating sometimes. I understood her impulses to do bad, and I understood her anger at the backwards way her dad and brother acted. I honestly hated everything happening to her mother and I just wanted her to hug her and tell her it is okay but families are the hardest people to get through to sometimes. I enjoyed the love interest though small with Moises and how he was actually a good guy. I wanted her to be more open with him but a story has to have a plot. The ending though not all the way happy, made me happy. Life isn't perfect, it never will be and I enjoyed this story about everyday life from a not so perfect family. This book was an awesome read.

The Education of Margot Sanchez Lilliam Rivera Books Reviews

Set in the Bronx, “The Education of Margot Sanchez” by Lilliam Rivera offers readers a coming-of-age experience full of family, summer, boys and commentary on social issues including class and race. While the beginning of the book moves along enjoyably predictable YA storylines, it picks up significantly in the second half, offering readers a glimpse of grittier family dynamics and some surprising twists.
VERDICT A fun, fast read, and a solid purchase for school libraries. Lilliam Rivera is an enjoyable and welcome new voice to the young adult fiction world.
I may not have liked Margot but overall I did like the story problem and some of the characters Jasmine, the father, and Moises. They had strong voices and authenticity that sometimes made them more interesting than Margot.
This is a fast paced narrative with lots of good dialogue and interior monolgue. I liked that the Spanish words and slang weren't italicized, as it makes for easier reading. I wanted to read more about how the character felt about gentrification and explore that storyline.
I didn't think of this story as a Pretty in Pink meets the Bronx as described on a blurb. Margot and her prep school friends were more in the vein of Gossip Girls.

SPOILER ALERT

The other area I thought needed more exploration is what happened between Margot and Nick. Not much came up about what Margot felt after her first sexual experience, and her reaction to how her mother reacted to the affair. These were all important topics worth writing about in more detail.
Contemporary isn’t one of my favorite genres to read – I view it more as a palate cleanser between SFF reads – but 2017 is knocking it out of the park with its contemporary debuts. THE EDUCATION OF MARGOT SANCHEZ by Lilliam Rivera is a fast, enjoyable read. I devoured it rather quickly once I set aside time to finish the book.

THE EDUCATION OF MARGOT SANCHEZ is a story of a girl learning from her mistakes. After she “borrows” her father’s credit card and charges $600 to it, she is forced to work in her family’s grocery store for the summer to pay off her debt. I loved reading Margot’s story, and I especially loved her character growth.

This is a story about friendships too. Margot has drifted away from her childhood friend, Elizabeth, since they now go to different high schools. Margot’s two friends at her prep school, Serena and Camille, are rather stuck-up … and seem to be a bad influence on Margot, as they were the ones to convince her to “borrow” the credit card and get a whole new wardrobe.

Margot’s story also revolves around her family life, especially with her overprotective, controlling big brother, Junior. I found myself being annoyed when Margot was when it came to Junior. And as Margot is a teenage girl, there are love interests – Nick, the boy from her prep school Somerset, and Moises, who she keeps running into outside her family’s grocery store. I liked Moises. Him and Margot hit it off right away, and I loved their scenes.

THE EDUCATION OF MARGOT SANCHEZ is a story of a privileged Puerto Rican-American girl living in the Bronx. This story is written well, and Margot’s voice leaps off the page as if she is sitting next to you, telling you the story of her summer. If you love Latinx contemporary, I suggest picking up a copy of THE EDUCATION OF MARGOT SANCHEZ today.
