What My Mother Doesn't Know by Sonya Sones

3.0

So I read this today in one sitting. It's a quick read, written in prose. Actually, I was warned that my middle school daughter and her friend were reading the sequel at school, which has some mature themes,and the teachers wanted me to know. I'm not a big believer in censorship - though I appreciated the head's up. It takes a village and all that.We have a more, let's-talk-about-this kind of approach. I actually really rather liked this book. There are some mature themes, but adolescence is about maturing. Really, it's about a girl discovering what makes a good boyfriend and standing up to peer pressure, but not written in a preachy, kind of way that turns kids off. I'll request the sequel from the library (the one I was warned about) and get back to you!
