3rd Reading Response

         
            

        In past two weeks I have lost interest in The Memory Keepers Daughter, the book I was posting my previous reading response about. Since I lost interest I read and finished What My Mother Doesn't Know. This book was not interesting, but it was in my favorite format of writing. The author wrote each scene in the book through little passages somewhat like poems.

           What My Mother Doesn't Know is about a teenage girl going through normal life obstacles. The main character is a teenage girl living in Boston with her dysfunctional parents. Although her two best friends are typical and shallow, she tends to be the lesser one. The focus point of the story is to tell about the different people the main character falls in love with. At the end she falls in love with an ugly nerd named Murphy, and is magically converted to a mature person. I won't recommend this book to anyone, in less it was a person that didn’t enjoy reading higher level books. This may be a book easily related to, but its plot is very simple and self-evident.
           I made little connection with What My Mother Doesn’t Know. I did find that the main character was very similar to my own best friend. With trivial worries about boys and what to do next weekend.
