A good book, easy to read. The end is a little too happily ever after on a serious issue. Rating: 4 / 5
I saw a newspaper article about a pregnancy pact, and was interested to see where the author has the story. What a disappointment. I have never seen one of his books before, and never again. It’s childish, dull, and are stretched. Blow-by-blow discussions were about boring and did nothing to the story or characters. None of the characters were good enough for me to feel no feelings for them and for most, developed the annoying? The author uses the word “Oh my God” over and over again. And it does not matter what character he was. The young adult women who have all said, ‘Oh my God “- simply horrible. Rating: 1 / 5
I enjoyed reading this book. She has acted quickly. I felt like most of the characters knew personally. However, I felt the conflict with the school district was overwhelmed a bit. That said, I could not forget that to find the positive elements in the plot! I’ve downloaded to my Kindle 2 and read it quickly. It was difficult to put down. Very good book! Rating: 4 / 5
Although I do not like this book I started reading was, I felt that I needed to to thinking it to be better, but it did not come. . . . . Like others, I felt that the story and his view on pregnancy esp. Mother with her head was unrealistic. In addition, I do not care enough about the characters that really do not care what happens to them. Not worth the time. Rating: 1 / 5
You know that you remain completely in a story is, if you want to retrieve a character, and shake to realize that only the story! I felt so many times in this book. Whether Lily and the other girls have made a pact to have a baby. Or was Suzanne who because of the problems in the family, had the feeling of doing it alone. Or if she was friends with Susan, Pam especially. I see these shows with young girls say they want a child and can not understand why. I think the girl in the book, they all have their own reasons why they wanted a baby. Your plans may not have been so well planned as they imagine, even after reading the books. I think Mrs Delinsky describes perfectly the struggle goes through your head when a parent these things happen in life. Added responsibilities of parenthood, she was also the high school clients, who fought for the clinic at the school. I loved the fight to keep the teeth of his family to go and keep his job. I recommend this book as a look at teen pregnancy, motherhood, friendship and strong women. Rating: 5 / 5
