Liked the book but hate the tone and Bailey.
On one hand I appreciate the book for going with a more light hearted tone and normalizing abortion but on the other hand abortion is serious topic that shouldn't be taken lightly. On the other hand it was easy to read and a bit fast paced. I liked the reason behind her getting pregnant. What her boyfriend did was terrible, but it was different then just a them having sex.
My biggest problem with this book is Bailey. She just so childish and selfish and so annoying. Like she literally made up a song about Veronica predicament:
<b >“Abortion friend, abortion friend. Wouldn’t have to do this if you’d let him stick it in your end!”</b>
Like it is the wrong time for that! Not only that but Bailey stops to climb a pink elephant in a no trespassing area, and then was some dogs we're after them and made somebody call the cops. She could have ruined everything for Veronica.
Then Veronica upset, rightfully so but Bailey just chalks it up to, "we had fun right?"
Although she wasn't my favorite character, I liked what happens near the end with her dad and Veronica and their blossoming friendship. I tolerated her just a little bit towards the end. I liked that we get to know how they felt and who they were and digged deep.
Speaking of, I hated Veronica's friends. They are too obsessed with her boyfriend and kept commenting how hot he is and asked for naked pics if him. Then at point kept pestering her and forced her to take a picture. I don't if it the way they were written or what but I just hated them.
The things that happened in this book was wild. I mean strippers, ferrets, car jacking, and they never seem to run out of money. They just always had enough money for anything. They never had to stop to find out how to earn more or if they needed. It was just always enough.
Overall the book was okay, but unrealistic but I did liked their friendship towards the end.

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.
