Have you ever had a book touched you so deep that when you tried to sleep scenes from the book would keep bouncing around in your head? Yup, happened to me with Lean On Me by Candy Crum. This story brought back memories of when my sister was 16 and pregnant. In this book, Bri has to make a decision when she finds out that she is pregnant at 16. She makes the hardest one of all. She decides to keep the baby no matter who is against it.I fell in love with the strength that Bri showed throughout the book. She had to  fight every step of the way to ensure that her baby was kept safe, inside and outside of the womb. She and Matt had me laughing with their goofball wit and how they missed their true feelings for each other. Bri’s parents made me want to hunt them down and knock some sense into their heads. I mean really, what parent would do that to their child? Nope not going to tell you what it is, you will have to read the story!This is a story about more than a teen pregnancy; it is also a story of an abusive relationship and the consequences that can happen. This is a great YA book and if it can touch the heart of at least one, if not all, teenager that reads it, it could be a life saved. I believe that anyone who reads this book will like it and I give it a 5 star rating.
