What My Mother Doesn't Know


What My Mother Doesn't Know by Sonya Sones

Sophie is any regular girl, she has many nicknames, Sof, Sofa, SoSo, Sophie Dophie, Fifi, Fee, and Sapphire, also she has many loves, from Lou, to cute Dylan, to Not-So Cute Murphy, it's not that she is boy crazy, it's just that she is almost 15 and it seems like her mind, body, and heart just don't agree on anything.

I liked this book, it was pretty good, the whole book was written in poetry, which made is intresting. This is the first book I've read by Sonya Sones, and I have to admit it's pretty good.

Expert of What My Mother Doesn't Know:

Operation "Alone At Last"

I'm Standing

near children

watching them swarm

over the jungle gym,

remembering vaguely

what it was like to be six.

I'm stealing a glance at Dylan

as he ducks through the hole

in the chainlink fence

and disappears

into the sheltering darkness

of the woods.

I'm waiting,

just as we planned,

for my slow motion watch to tick off

three

full

minutes.

I'm sidling over

and sneaking through the same hole

into the shadows,

into the warm flanneled arms

of my partner

in a delicious crime.
