A review by drpschmidt
Living with Jackie Chan by Jo Knowles

4.0

So, here's what I love about this book: Jo Knowles tells a uniquely touching story, vividly & honestly, through the eyes of a teenage boy. This is not a perspective we see often, especially when it's tangentially about a teen pregnancy - we never see how the boys feel afterwards, or even how he felt when he lost his virginity. We have plenty of teen pregnancy books, told through the eyes of the young girl - scared, anxious, etc. But, what about a boy? Jo absolutely nails the male teenage voice with all its insecurities & anxieties. It was heartbreaking at times and brutally honest at others, but above all, it was true to the teenage experience.
