Ik vond het verhaal super interessant, een nieuwe vorm van perspectief die ik nog niet eerder was tegengekomen. Ik vond het soms wel te veel drama, het leek een beetje alsof er 2/3 thema’s zijn uitgekozen door de schrijver waar jongeren mee dealen en daar omheen een verhaal is gemaakt. Ik denk dat het perspectief vanuit Adam geheel overbodig was, maar verder heb ik wel hardop gelachen bij dit boek en vond ik het einde mooi rond en wholesome.

This is the second book in a row I've read about teen pregnancy and in both of the books the baby's name was Emma. Coincidence? I think not yeah probably.

In all seriousness, I loved this book... when it was Dante's POV. I also loved Adam... through Dante's POV. There was absolutely no need for Adam to have his own point of view, it added nearly nothing to the plot and only served to drag the book. That was the only peeve for me, other than that it was a pretty enjoyable read.

OG rating: 4 stars

I loved this book so much. I wanted to read it for ages and kind of forgot down the line then I eventually got it and it was amazing. I am a sucker for single fathers, let alone a teenager one and I loved every moment.

I do wish we had more from Adam, instead of a half of a page from him though most of the time or all Dante, there just wasn't enough that he shouldn't have had his perspective or should have had more of it.

Truly amazing, a must read.

Re-read: I love this book so damm much and it makes my list of faves of 2017 even as a re-read since I didn't do a fave list for the year in which I first read this book.
