Honestly, this book was a quick read and kept me wanting to read more for it’s very bizarre plot points!
Veronica is the most Mayo character I’ve ever read and I wish she showed more depth.
Bailey said everything the audience was thinking and I appreciated that!
I do think this story needed some more emotional backing...it’s literally about a girl getting an abortion but we never feel the true weight of that. Really, she glosses over that for her friendship with another character.... which I thought was weird.
The boyfriend was insane and I wish they would have pressed charges against him for what he did. They made him seem bad but never touched on what he did as being borderline criminal??
Regardless of those issues, I like the pro choice message that is presented because it’s not something you typically see in YA.
3.5!
