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 !

I really liked this! I honestly think it’s a pretty realistic story, funny bits aside, especially having to go 1000 miles to get a medical procedure that should be available to anyone. I liked the interactions between the two main characters and how they managed to actually become friends again by the end of it, and the other characters (like Kevin and the crazy religious couple, ugh) were also really well-thought-out and made sense in the story. Thank you to Chicken House for sending me a copy of this!!
