WHAT MY MOTHER DOESN'T KNOW by Sonya Sones

Sophie, like most teenage girls, spends time considering her relationships with her boyfriend, her two best friends, and her parents.  This novel in verse gives us Sophie's thoughts and feelings as she questions her feelings for cute, popular Dylan and finds "love" in an unexpected place.  Also complicating her life is her parents' strained marriage, her mother's depression, and the awkwardness that sometimes comes from being Jewish in a predominantly non-Jewish community.

A quick read, Sones realistically captures the feelings of a teenage girl who struggles, but is strong enough and honest enough to act on her feelings.
