I actually didn’t expect to enjoy this, but I did. It is a little repetitive at times, but you can really feel Ann’s personality wafting from the pages.

An interesting look at the life of an interesting woman. It was great to see how Ann grew up and created a great life for herself based on integrity, humility, drive,and good work ethic. It was a pleasurable read.

She is my favourite author and it was interesting to read about her and her life and relatives her personality was just what I expected, she seems like a really nice person, although I’m disappointed that she is a vegetarian, she could probably be my friend! ;•)

I haven't read this book in many years, I'm now 20 but growing up Ann M. Martin was always one of my favorite authors. I really enjoyed reading her biography!

This was a nice read to take me back to my youth when I would devour books from The Baby-Sitters Club series. I never really thought about the author before, but I found this book (which is just about the length of an actual BSC book!) and became immediately interested. Might go back and reread a few of the books in the series that sparked my life long reading interest. ♥️☺️

This book had way too much fluff and unnecessary details. It was interesting though, to see how the BSC books came to be, which have been a huge part of my life.
