What do You think about What My Girlfriend Doesn't Know (2007)?
Dear Charan, I'm reading a book entitled "What my girlfriend doesn't know" by Sonya Sones which is a work of fiction. I have a text to self when the character said "trying to avoid eye contacts with my parents. Because if they take a close look at me, they'll see how messed up i feel right now''. Thats like wih me when im mad or upset my parents would probably catch on and ask "whats wrong" or "why are you acting like this" , and i hate talking about my feelings or something with my parents its awkward to me. And also when he said "and if i end up telling them everything the chances are pretty good i'll start crying". Just like with me regardless who im talking to im going to end up crying sometimes talking about whats wrong with me , because im very sensitive when it comes to feelings. My observation on one of these characters is that he seems very sensitive , that reason because he said he has feeling and he don't want to talk about it like he said "and if i end up telling them everything, then chances are pretty good ill start crying. I also think he's feeling he should be strong he said "and if i start crying, ill feel weak and pathetic". My prediction on what will happen next i think that the guy ill have sex with Sophie, coming from his feeling and in his dream and his urge to try and keep his hands off her, he might just loose it and try to impel her in having sex. Now my question is why wouldn't he tell his parents on how he feels what so bad about it and why does he have urges in doing things with Sophie? If i was the character of the boyfriend i wouldn't try anything with this girl because he is going to feel bad and upset at it when its all did and done. Coming from also what if it bothers him and he cant even talk to his parents about it , its just going to eat him up inside. I learned while reading this book that everyone well some people are the same and that even in books other people have urges people have there own behavior that others might have that thought that they only had. I thought the author wrote this book because she is trying to say that relationships are not all perfect and they all have there own problems with there own situations, even though people have other kind of thinking in negatives ways or ways they cant explain and cant control them selves they still learn a way how to control it in the very possible way there is. Would I recommend this book to people, yes, yes I would especially to people who are in a relationship or dealing with things they cant control or things they cant keep inside anymore or what not. So yes I recommend this book 100% and I cant wait to keep reading the book and find out more interesting stuff going on!!!! :)

I read this book immediately after finishing "What My Mother Doesn't Know" and again, didn't stop until I had finished. Sonya Sones has again captured the emotion and angst of being a teenager in high school - and an outcast, at that.This book is written from Robin's perspective, and we see his relationship with Sophie (and others) evolve. But we also see Sophie's relationships with her friends deteriorate, as they dump her because of her ties to Robin.High school can suck. But hang on! Hopefully you'll find your Robin or Sophie, and everyone else can eat it.I'm with Stein!

Let me start off saying this cover is so completely misleading. It looks like an adult kissing another adult. The women is wearing a fancy looking blouse, hair up in a bun, and the man has a beard. (not typical looking freshman if you ask me, I happen to be a freshman!) Which, the guy in the story has a beard, but it's red/orange, not brown. So all in all, the cover looks like two adults kissing. And NO, the story is not about that. Kissing, yeah it's involved, but that's not what this is about! And then the title, What My Girlfriend Doesn't Know.Sounds scandalous, doesn't it.And then the 4 naked women mentioned in the inside cover.Even more scandalous, yes?But did the author mention, there's also a naked man?No, she did not.Why?Cause that could go in many different directions.There's nothing quite as scandalous as you're thinking.No need to worry.Or question my taste in books.Meet Robin Murphy.But everyone calls him Murphy.Except Sophie.Who calls him Robin.You know what a Murphy is to the people at their school?Loser.Failure.Outcast.No quality.Stupid. Moron.Nerd. Geek. Dweeb. Freak.Not so nice is it?Sophie isn't the kind of person who would be seen associating with him.She's beautiful, popular, smart, and nice.And then winter break happened, Sophie turned into Robin's girlfriend.School started again. Sophie's friends ditched her. Random acts of unkindness were made to the couple.People thought Sophie had gone insane.Told in poem format, Robin tells of how he struggled agianst bullies in school. How it hurt him to see his girlfriend, eyes not shinning as bright as before with happeniness. How he wanted to break up with her, just so she would be happier without people making fun of her. And how they promised, needed to get through this together, people would hopefully accept them eventually.This is their story.Friends make all the difference in the world. Remember that.******1/4/13 Hey they changed the cover!!
