I recently read the book description for Trapped, which is the follow up to this prequel, and knew I needed to read The Trap. It's a novella, so it's pretty short, but it gives us the back story for Paige and Mitch's story.I think what I liked so much about this story is that it's something that can actually happen. Paige and Mitch are 18-19 with an unplanned pregnancy on their hands. Paige knows what she wants to do and Mitch is conflicted. He's got a sports scholarship to a school in a different state. So, what do you do?We follow the characters around and listen as Mitch lets those around him influence his thoughts and decisions. While his actions are not the best in the current situation, it's something that we see many men do. It was kind of cool to see a potential thought process behind this type of scenario. It's not something that Mitch necessarily wants, so he tries to rationalize his way out of it.I liked the supporting characters and how they adapted to the situation the best they could. The success of a teen pregnancy has a lot to do with social support systems and Paige had a good one.I'm looking forward to the follow up! It's going to be amazing!
