a girl and her books

"You see, books fill the empty spaces. If I'm waiting for a bus, or am eating alone, I can always rely on a book to keep me company. Sometimes I think I like them more than people. People will let you down in life. They'll disappoint you and hurt you and betray you. But not books. They're better than life."

What My Mother Doesn’t Know by Sonya Sones I started reading this like five years ago at Chapters. And the other day I saw it at the library and figured I might as well finally finish it! (I read alot of Young Adult Fiction, fyi.) This one was cool because it is told in a bunch of one-two page poems by the narrator. Basically this fifteen year old girl is boy-crazy, so it was easy for me to relate - even at my wise, old age of twenty-two. “My name is Sophie.This book is about me.It tellsthe heart-stoppingly riveting storyof my first love.And also my seond.And, okay, my third love too.”

This book is about me.
It tells
the heart-stoppingly riveting story
of my first love.
And also my seond.
