Summary: 15-year-old Sophie describes her relationships with family, friends, and a series of boyfriends as she searches for Mr. Right.
Major Characters: Sophie, her mother, Grace and Rachel (Sophie's friends), Murphy (a classmate)
Comments: Typical hormonal, teenage angst, but with a bit of humour. The book's originality and main drawing point comes from the form in which it is written. The story is told in verse, and the poetry changes according to Sophie's mood. Each poem describes a new event or emotion she is experiencing. The book is very quick, and easy to read, yet it is still entertaining. As such, I recommend it as good choice for reluctant readers.
Genre: Realistic fiction
Age Level: 14+
