This book shows the solo burden women face when it comes to pregnancy (wanted or unwanted) and the difficult choices that are faces. I find it interesting the input everyone has, but they aren't going through it. Still in my feelings on overturn of Roe vs. Wade. However, this is a teen/young woman so parental input is a strong persuasion. It is a thought provoking, realistic story that although set in the 60s is still relevant today. And that boyfriend Jim-what a dick. I enjoyed this story.
