This story is a fast and fun road trip adventure, great for a palette cleanser between more serious/dense books. As many others have said I enjoyed that it was a book about an abortion that was not overly serious and treated it as a normal part of life. There were definitely some major plot holes/ridiculousness

her boyfriend knows she's pregnant because she smells different???

but if you are willing to put that aside it is still a really fun read. I liked how ridiculous/whacky some of the situations the character got into where, and overall I enjoyed that it didn't take itself to seriously.

this book was brilliant. I read it all in one night and it was definitely worth missing out on sleep. the characters are layered and the side ones are loveable and others are interesting. the plots builds brilliantly and I love the way the chapters are spaced and named. please read this book to challenge views on abortion, religion, America, and lgbtq+.
okay have a good day and read Unpregnant !

La verdad que este libro es genial, no es muy complicado ni lento de leer. Me divertió mucho y siento que a pesar de que es algo cómico y que nunca nos va a pasar un viaje para ir a abortar como el de Veronica y Bailey, no lo quita lo serio a la situación. 
Claramente lo recomiendo a todos lo que quieran una lectura corta e intensa pero averigüen los trigger warnings.

A cute, fun read that one could easily get through in one sitting. I enjoyed making the audiobook last through a few work days. At times some of the dialogue or certain scenes seemed a little ridiculous and tropey but I see that as evidence of a book that doesn't take itself too seriously so I appreciated the laughs. Finally, female friendship is one of the ultimate themes in my wheelhouse, so this story really did it for me in that regard.
