Great relationship writing, cliche story. Almost finished it but the relationship building that kept me involved took an absolute nosedive into bad self published territory, so I stopped wasting my time.
Also that covered killed a lot of interest for me.

This was fine. It was an extremely fast read which was nice. I honestly didn’t know what this was about and it’s mostly just about a girl finding herself and working through things about herself as well as her family. I did not really like her I fault like she was really immature and self centered. Like warren made a mistake one time and she flipped out on him. Also she got made at her friend for stating her own opinion about sex and I felt like she wasn’t even judging the main character and was just concerned. She also cheated and I don’t care if the author tried to justify it. They seemed like they were in a relationship and were semi serious and she lied to him so if it wasn’t a big deal why did you lie? I just hated that. As for the pregnancy I thought it was handled well and the discussions on options and abortion was good. I also like how the father daughter relationship grew and I thought that was super sweet. Oh I forgot when she told her “boyfriend”(they weren’t official) he asked if she used protection and if the guy had any STDs and she got mad at him for asking? Like he’s worried about his safety as well as yours like before you guys had sex he told you he got tested for STDs like I feel like she had no right to be mad at him for that. That reminds me I like the testing was talked about in this and normalized because people should get tested. Honestly I would probably skip this one because it’s not anything amazing but it’s not terrible either and it’s a fast read so if it sounds interesting pick it up.
