Don't get me wrong—my girlfriend's amazing.
But the way things have been going lately,
I'm starting to believe that the only thing worse
than not getting what you want, is getting it.
Even though Murphy's thrilled to be with Sophie, the consequences of their relationship—and the temptations outside of it—force him to consider everything he knows about love. Told in free verse and brimming with authenticity, this novel provides unique insight into the mind of a young man.
Can be enjoyed as a standalone or follow up to Sonya Sones critically acclaimed WHAT MY MOTHER DOESN'T KNOW (S&S 2001).

Gr 9 Up-In this sequel to What My Mother Doesn't Know, listeners witness the relationship between Robin and Sophie from his point of view. His quick shifting from lust-filled thoughts to flashes of insight are spot-on and make this a most interesting tale. The push-pull when he starts connecting with college students in his Harvard art class, Sophie's seeming ambivalence about their relationship, and the social price both she and Robin pay for their relationship all add to the overall enjoyment of this story. Listeners who read or listen to the first book will get much more from this one. VERDICT A fun, humorous and sometimes painful take on love and lust in the early teen years. Suggested for libraries where teens enjoy smart and self-analytic humor.-John R. Clark, formerly with Hartland P.L., ME
