I recently read What My
Mother Doesn't Know, by Sonya Sones. It is a
book that is told in different poems and verses. They
are all quite short, but some are shorter than others.
The main characters are Sophie, who tells the story,
Grace and Rachel (Sophie's two best friends), and her
ex-boyfriend, Lou. There is also her boyfriend, who
at the beginning of the book is her current boyfriend
and at the end of the book is her ex-boyfriend. He is
called Dylan. In the middle comes Murphy (his real name
is Robin). Murphy is from Sophie's school and is my
favourite character because he seems a genuine guy who
really cares for Sophie.
There is not really an actual plot/storyline because
of how it is told (in verses). Having said this, the
poems do come together. They are not random. If I was
to say what they are about, though, this is what I would
say:
The poems are about Sophie and her life. They tell of
her arguments with her parents, her school live, her
friends, and, most of all, her out-of-control love life.
It's mainly about Dylan and then about Murphy/Robin.
The best part is the ending: I love it!!
I loved this book because I could relate to it. In
fact, any girl could. It seems true. I believed in Sophie.
I believed in her friends and parents. Most of all,
I believed in Murphy/Robin and wished that I could meet
a guy like him! I think that any girl would like this
book. It is definitely not a book for boys! I didn't
think this I would like this book, but it turned out
to be one of the best books I have read for a long time.
I give it 10/10.
