3/5
Teen pregnancy from 4 different perspectives: Ellie is a teenager looking for someone to love her since her parents are far too busy to be up to the task. Her pregnancy is so inevitable it’s almost cliché. Corinne is Ellie’s best friend who stands by her side through everything despite developing a crush on Caleb, who has loved Ellie since first grade. Caleb not only loves Ellie, he is best friends with Josh – the father of Ellie’s baby. Josh lost his virginity that night in the van with Ellie and now just wants the entire “problem” to go away.
Chapters switch perspectives among the four main characters. Each one obviously feels very differently about the pregnancy. The text is engaging if a little obvious. In the end, you feel for all four of these young people.
