What My Mother Doesn't Know by Sonya Sones

Sophie had those crazy, almost stalkerish moments and thoughts that most teenagers have. Sophie and most of the characters in the book were so realistic, it was almost scary. But how is she going tell her friends that she likes the biggest loser in school? On top of that her parents aren't getting along and her relationship with her mother is getting more complicated everyday. She finds herself falling for Murph and having feelings unlike any she's ever had. She meets Murph, the class dork, unattractive to say the least, and just not cool. On the side, Sophie begins an online romance, and you'll just have to see how that turns out. Sophie doesn't feel right about Dylan, but she isn't sure what to do. At first everything's perfect, she couldn't be happier, but then then she starts noticing weirdness. Sophie finally gets asked out by Dylan, the boy of her dreams, and totally knows it's true love. The novel takes us along her love life and relationships. Sophie has great friends, is funny, artistic, and pretty likable. Sophie is an almost 15-year old girl that is officially boy crazy, as in one of the most boy crazy characters I've ever read about. It was written beautifully through poems, deep inner thoughts, journal entries, and short stories.

What My Mother Doesn't Know was also the first time I have laughed that hard while reading book. I became so engaged in the book after I point I forgot I was reading. It was the first book I read in verse and who knew reading in verse was so awesome. What My Mother Doesn't Know contained a lot of firsts for me. Over the course of about forty-five minutes I have laughed, smiled, and ached along with Sophie. Rating: Four stars (refer to the rating system on the right)Īnd, okay, my third love too.
