What My Mother Doesn't Know



by Sonya Sones



I'm going to be lazy today and use other people's words; so, lifted from the back cover:

"My name is Sophie.

This book is about me.

It tells

the heart-stoppingly riveting story

of my first love.

and also of my second.

And, okay, my third love too.


It's not that I'm boy crazy.

It's just that even though

I'm almost fifteen

it's like

my mind

and my body

and my heart

just don't seem to be able to agree

on anything"


And to borrow from someone else again:

Booklist (a magazine librarians read to find good books to buy) says this book is "Fast, funny, touching" which is very true. And I will add, realistic. Check here for library's holdings.
