Sonya Sones has also written other books like "What MyMother Doesn't Know" or "what my girlfriend doesn't know". All
of them are teen-fiction and are written in first-person view. Of course they
all have a problem's but some are similar too. All of those books have
friendship, family, relationship, and emotional issues. Then all the books have
characters around the same age.
The theme in “One of those hideous books where the mother
dies” is death. Death is even in the title. If ruby’s mother would have never
died, she wouldn’t have moved away from her best friend, her boyfriend, her
aunt-Duffy, and her mother. Then she wouldn’t have to move in with her father
that is all the way on the other side of America. Then another death at the
end, surprisingly changes a lot. Even though it doesn’t really affect them
personally.
Ruby moves away from everything she loves and cares about in
Boston like her best-friend (Lizzy), boyfriend (Ray), Aunt (Duffy), house, and
mother. To move in with her movie star dad, Whip Logon that she never knew. She
hates being there because she hates him and she hates the reminder of
everything she left behind in Boston. She keeps people back home in touch
though through E-mail, even her mother. She goes to a new school and she’s not
quite that popular there but her “sister” there is Colette and her crush Wyatt.
She barely has any friends in what she likes to call “Hell A”. She’s closest to
one of her dad’s workers. His name is Max. She finds betrayal with people that
she least expects it from and it throws her back a long ways but she manages to
pick herself back up by the end with learning something about her father that
will change her life.
I would personally recommend this book to others.
Especially, teenage girls because the books Sonya Sones writes are books that
girls around that age can relate to. I really can’t put the book down myself
and I’m one of those people that don’t like to read and has to find the perfect
book to even want to. Seriously, I only like a few authors. This book has
humor, drama and loss. Then it’s not too inappropriate so parents should
approve this too. I would give it five stars anytime.
