Pregnant at 17 by Christine Conradt
3.0
3/5
This was a trashy read that had potential but didn't try hard enough to thrive past a Lifetime movie. I've never seen the movie, but a book needs more depth, unlike a movie. And I found myself rolling my eyes at how naive Chelsea made herself out to be because originally she seemed badass in the first few chapters, and then she wasn't...
And then everything became very standard for a Lifetime movie. Girl is naive when she starts up affair. The husband guy doesn't actually love her, but gets her pregnant and she is surprised he doesn't want it. She meets a stranger but then finds out.... (gasp) it's her boyfriend's wife! And there was just this horrible subplot to the story with Greg and Lauren. Like even the dialogue seemed overdone and just plain terrible.
Literally the only good thing was Adam. But he wasn't even a really big character.
Like I felt like this book should have been longer and detailed and edited to be something more than what it became.
