A short blurb from the author’s website: Flattered by the attentions of Nick, the cutest guy in school, seventeen-year-old Grace Warren, captain of the math team, lets down her guard and gets pregnant the night she loses her virginity. Hopeful that Nick will drop to one knee and propose when she breaks the baby news to him, Grace is heartbroken—Nick wants nothing to do with her. Her best friend, Jennifer, thinks she should get an abortion, but Grace is certain that her morally upright parents will insist that she keep the baby. After she comes clean to her folks, they surprise her by insisting that she terminate the pregnancy to avoid humiliating the family. But when she sees the fetus on the ultrasound, she decides she can't get rid of it. Deciding to save the tiny life growing inside of her, Grace must face the consequences of being that girl--the good girl who got knocked up. My Take
I loved this book! I really liked how there were little vignettes on the more major characters. It really gave you a good glimpse into everyone and their reasoning for doing the things they do. The characters were wonderful; flawed, rich, full of life. I loved Grace for standing by her convictions, come what may. She was strong and vibrant. Great writing that sped along keeping me turning the pages. I’m giving this one 5 expectant kisses!
