Wonderful read. I didn't really have so much of an interest in this book as much as i did in the beginning. I felt as if the point of view of the main character was from a 7th grader, not so much a fourteen-year-old. Nor did i find myself fond of the format of the text either, since it was set up in a poetic form i grew tired of it farly quickly. I also got pretty confused with all the male characters that wove their way through the pages and how poorly they were described compared to Sophie's "first love". This is a modern, fun, book from a young girl's point of view. Written almost like journal entries or poems, she gets right to the point. Students will be able to relate to the "boy problems", and other problems she goes through. I think it's good to have these realistic-type books, as a touchstone to other things. This is actually a collection of poems written from the point of view of Sophie, a boy-crazy teen who tells her various tales of 'love' through a series of poems. The poems are free verse and mostly chronological, and although each seems rather insignificant, you soon realize that you have really gotten inside her head. The poems each tell about something that may seem insignificant to an adult reader, but which is clearly THE most important thing in the life of a teen (it hasn't been too long since I was a teen, so I can relate!) Sophie writes about things like lusting for the hot, popular guy, having secret feelings for the dorky boy, fighting with her best friends, finding out that her parents have dirty books...things that happened to many of us in our teen years and had a big impact at the time. Told in a series of short poems, this book conveys a wonderful message to young teens about the importance of looking beyond the surface image of the people you know and finding out who that person really is. no reviews | add a review
