Blatantly Honest: Normal Teen, Abnormal Life

“[Makaila] shoots straight about the pressures of growing up in such a highly social climate and offers much-needed advice for other teens. ” —David Boreanaz, actor, director, producer of film and television

Being a teenager today is one of the hardest jobs in the world. You have grades to maintain, obligations to extra-curricular activities, and soul-crushing pressure to excel at everything so colleges take notice. On top of it all, you’re forced to act as your own public relations manager because, thanks to social media, every bit of your life is on display. No one knows that better than teen model, actress, and author Makaila Nichols. Nichols’ book, Blatantly Honest, is filled with peer-to-peer advice on navigating life as a teen in a world that begs young people to grow up before they’re really ready.

Unlike books for teens written from an adult perspective, Blatantly Honest offers real, relatable advice based on lessons learned in today’s world. After all, adults today have no experience being a teen in a social climate where peers have immediate, constant access to one another. Despite her rising fame, Nichols has struggled through body image issues, dating disasters, friendship failures and bullying. In this refreshing, open, and honest book, Nichols offers hard-earned advice on these tough topics and more.

“It’s a daring undertaking to be honest about ourselves. Makaila genuinely shares her experiences, and it is such a true gift to her peers for them to realize that we all deal with our insecurities. ” —Frederique van der Wal, supermodel and entrepreneur

“Makes you feel like you’re talking with an older sister or a close friend—but this isn’t your mother’s advice. ” —Anna Caltabiano, teen author and influencer
