I've been pregnant four times, the hunger is real. I love how Sara is a bisexual fat girl and not once did the story shame her for her eating habits. (Though my kid and I swear a lot more.) My mom and I are also very similar to Sara and her Mom, put the three of us in a room and you will walk away shaking your head. We are just like this, this same style of banter and teasing each other, love fueled by jokes and sarcasm. Sara's relationship with her mother is totally me and my 15-year-old. Because I still sound just like that, if my slang is a little outdated. Every time the MC spoke it was if teen me were cheering. I wish the author had made Sara a little more aware of the fact she is blessed and lucky. While teen pregnancy can be a positive experience and I like that this novel highlights that- in general, it is not. I did not feel like this book talked enough about the fact that Sara's privilege of living with a family who supports her, friends that won't abandon her, being able to finish school, keep her baby and get a hot boyfriend are exceptions to the rule. I had friends who got pregnant younger than me whose lives were difficult.Not bad, just hard. I kept my daughter and would never change that decision. I was pregnant at 20, not as young as this protagonist, but young enough not to know what the fuck I was doing.
So I am going to get my one negative thing out here first. When the reviews I read mentioned it had a Gilmore Girls Meets Juno feel, I knew I had to read it. It seems I’ve got a lot more firsts to go I should probably mention that to him at some point. Too bad I’m knocked up with a stranger’s baby. He’s cute, an amazing cook and he’s flirting me up, hard-core. There is one upside, though-a boy named Leaf Leon.
Know what’s more fun than being the new girl for your senior year? Being the pregnant new girl. Instead, Mom and I are moving in with my battle-ax of a grandmother and I’m about to start a new school and a whole new life.
I’d planned to spend senior year with my bestie-slash-wifey, Devi Abrams, graduating at the top of my class and getting into an Ivy League college. First totally hot consensual truck hookup with a superhot boy whose digits I forgot to get.
