3.0

I wasn't sure about this halfway through when I realized that the book was about a 19 year old girl carrying out a pregnancy because her mother has abandoned her-- but then there are some really nice moments and it becomes more and more probable that this character would do just that.

Also there's one moment in which the main character is at the pool with her new also pregnant teen friend and she's like having a nice time and then she thinks about how her brother killed himself. I thought that shift felt true to life. Her dread is always with her.
