Trapped deals with an unplanned pregnancy and the reality of being teen parents. I have to admit, I stopped reading Trapped halfway through to start reading the prequel, The Trap. While it was hard to read Mitch's thoughts about Paige's pregnancy, it's a very honest account at what probably is the most realistic response of becoming a teen father.I was not a fan of Mitch at first, even when I started to read Trapped before The Trap. But after reading the prequel, I gained a better understanding of an immature Mitch, because that's exactly how he was acting-immature.When he finally decides to become a father, I loved Paige's no non-sense attitude. She put up a good fight, and called Mitch out on everything. Trying to get into her good graces, Mitch accepts everything she dished out, and accepted responsibility for his actions.Not only does Mitch have to build a relationship back up with Paige, but he has to build trust with Bree as well. This is probably my favorite part of the book. His relationship with their baby really redeemed Mitch and made him grow not only as a person, but as a father as well.Trapped is a story about growing up. I love how Paige wasn't portrayed as a weak heroine, but Mitch is the weak character in this book. He learned a lot about self-discovery, and how to become a father along the way.
