What Every Girl (Except Me) Knows - Thryft

Stepmom yearnings and motherhood nostalgia

This book could be a good read for young adult readers who are dealing with blended families and the difficulties that come with it. What sets this book apart is Gabby's desire for a stepmother who can understand her worries, as well as her journey to reconstruct the memory of her mother. This story beautifully captures the complexities of familial relationships and the emotions that come with it.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A witty and heart-rending debut novel about growing up without a mother. Unlike most kids faced with the prospect of having a stepmother, Gabby Weiss isn't the slightest bit resistant to the idea. In fact, she wishes her father would hurry up and marry someone who knows about womanhood; someone who understands her worries about everything that is happening (or worse, not happening!) to her body. For a while, it seems like Cleo, her father's girlfriend, might fulfil this role. But when things fall apart, Gabby has to find her own solution. She decides to travel to the last place that she saw her mother, to try and reconstruct a memory of her. But what she finds there is something even better. In this delightful debut novel, Nora Raleigh Baskin blends humour and emotion to create a resonant story about growing up with and without a mother.
