I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Kehoe's two previous books and absolutely loved this one.  I read the prologue and first chapter that she had posted on her website a while ago and have been anticipating its arrival ever sense.  This was one of those books where you are sad for it to end because the characters become so real they feel like family at the end.  I loved Rachel and could so relate to her life which is so funny because we are nothing remotely alike.  I am 33 years old but still have those same insecurities in my head about myself, my choices, my mistakes.  I felt like I grew as Rachel grew through this book.  I read all the time and I generally like young adult or New Adult books but a lot of the time they don't feel real to life.  Although it is fiction, I do like a hint of realness to it.  This is one of the most real books I have ever read.  I don't think that Ms. Kehoe was making a statement about prolife or abortion with her book.  She wrote a book about the consequences of our actions and what happens when you man up and own them.  She didn't glamorize it like MTV or celebrate it.  She just made it real.  Having a baby at sixteen is hard, it takes a village, and changes your plans. Buy this book...you won't regret it.
