"One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies" by Sonya Sones (268 Pages)



In a coming-of-age story that tears at your heartstrings, Ruby is a girl who has to go live with her movie-star father after the death of her mother. Angry and bitter at him for ignoring her for these past fifteen years, Ruby does everything she can to make sure her father knows how much she hates him. When confronted with the normal struggles of teenage life AND being a movie star's daughter, Ruby speaks in a voice that is easy to relate to and is easy to grow attached to. Set up in verse-format and a quick read, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and would strongly recommend it.
