Review Detail

Reader reviewed by safia

This is the story,
of a girl,
whose mother has died.
The girl,
she moves to L.A.,
away from her boyfriend,
away from her best friend,
to live with her famous movie-star father,
whom she's only seen in movies,
but never actually met.

This book,
is her thoughts,
and emotions.

'One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies' is a story that has been told many times though maybe in different forms. Girl has famous father, girl's parents are divorced. Girl loses mother, girl moves town and misses best friend/boyfriend. Girl feels alone and so on and so on. Yep, heard it all. But this story is special because it's broken down into simple poems. It's predictable, but lovely anyways.
