I was so frustrated during parts of this story and noticed it was directed at the main character. When it should be directed at our systemic issues.

good story, but dialogue was choppy and unrealistic—people just don’t really talk like that?? the writing just wasn’t great, but it’s a very poignant story in today’s political climate.

“No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body. No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother.”
― Margaret Sanger
I have no words.
I really, really liked the theme and the message, even if it pains me to no end.

A moving, timely, and well-paced book about a young girl in Texas and the steps she has to go through to get an abortion.

The fact that this book had to be written is so painful. This is fiction but literally the only thing that is manufactured is the characters themselves. The way Camille is treated is so real and happens daily. I’m so grateful that this book was written, published, and sold by Target (online, but still). It’s accessible. It’s accessible for girls who want to feel validated. There’s not much we can do for each other other than validate one another right now but we need as much of that as we can get.

Incredibly well-researched, moving, truthful and so so necessary. I want everyone to read this, pro-choice or otherwise.

No matter where you stand on the abortion issue this book will give you another viewpoint to consider. Camille makes a decision that has an outcome that could affect her for the rest of her life. She had sex, it wasnt even good sex, and even though a condom was used a pregnancy occurred.
What angered me most in this book is how men from a different generation made decisions based on bias and shaming. Whether you feel abortion is a sin or a right every woman should have, take a moment and look at the situation.
Camille made a poor choice but why should it affect the rest of her life. ? Why make her bring a baby into this world that she clearly didnt want, plan for and will have resentment towards child for entire life. Yes adoption is another answer but does this give the child a good life or a lifetime of foster care.
Also once she made the decision best for her, she felt resentment from her best friend who is very anti abortion, made a new friend who is very pro abortion and in the end Camille did what is best for her.
Sadly she shouldnt have to go to court seeking permission only to be made to feel like a prostitute and be told NO she doesnt know what is right for her . SO she goes searching for pills to end the pregnancy in Mexico and then is directed to New Mexico for the answer she WANTS

This was so important. I can't believe that states like Texas have such stifling, suffocating holds on womens bodies. It made me nauseous and so, so sad. But this book really is so freaking important and everyone should read it.
