About this ebook
A teen boy confronts the complications of love in this relatable free verse novel featuring a new cover and larger trim size.
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.
Picking up where What My Mother Doesn’t Know leaves off, this is the story of what happens next—told from the perspective of Murphy, Sophie’s new boyfriend. And 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.

I fell in love with "what my mother doesn't know" when I was 13 and I'm 20 now and purchased part 2 "What my girlfriend doesn't know" awhile ago and the book is so intriguing and thrilling and so relatable I was teary toward the end of this book because Murphy had feelings for Sophie that most guys his age would never admit. I totally need a part 3!!

I love it. It's so cute how they act together and that there being strong no matter what people say.
About the author
Sonya Sones has written five YA novels-in-verse: To Be Perfectly Honest (A Novel Based on an Untrue Story), Stop Pretending, One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies, What My Mother Doesn’t Know, and its companion, What My Girlfriend Doesn’t Know. Her books have received many honors, including a Christopher Award, the Myra Cohn Livingston Poetry Award, and a Los Angeles Times Book Prize nomination.

She lives near the beach in southern California, and only tells the occasional fib. Visit her at SonyaSones.com or follow @SonyaSones on Twitter.
