What My Mother Doesn't Know

Sonya Sones

In this poignant and humorous novel told in verse, a nearly fifteen-year-old girl navigates the exhilarating and confusing landscape of first love. As she grapples with her burgeoning desires and the complexities of her own heart, she finds herself caught between multiple crushes, each offering a different kind of thrill. The narrative beautifully captures the universal experience of adolescent yearning, the struggle for independence, and the often-misunderstood journey of self-discovery. Through Sophie's honest and lyrical voice, readers are invited to explore themes of identity, burgeoning sexuality, and the delicate balance between childhood innocence and the realities of growing up.
