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.

 "Unpregnant" by Jenni Hendricks takes a hard situation and finds the humor in it. I will go ahead and put a trigger warning for mentions of sexual assault in the book and within this review.

After Veronica's boyfriend purposefully tampers with contraceptives to get her pregnant,

she and her ex-bestfriend Bailey go on a roadtrip to an abortion clinic in Albuquerque. He continually stalks and harasses her throughout the trip and his behavior is never discussed as illegal or a breech of consent. The heavy and the humor wasn't always balanced and it was almost too easy to forget why the girls are taking the trip in the first place. There were many funny and heartwarming moments and the ending is satisfying, however, one should not take this as a actual account of making a trip to get an abortion out of state.
