16Pregnant by LaLa Thomas
4.75
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can’t think of a major criticism or dislike. I knew the book would be about teen pregnancy, but I did not expect it to frequently touch on specific health conditions relating to pregnancy such as preeclampsia (which I knew as a term, but learned the full definition of the term from this book).
The first half of the book I was often annoyed at Kelly, then the second half I felt the same toward Erykah, but I always understood where the other was coming from. The plot twist withKelly getting pregnant and choosing abortion was unexpected and really refreshing to see a similar situation’s different outcome. Her interaction with the other woman in the clinic recovery room really touched me.
I loved this book and rooted for the girls the whole way through. I liked that the author had a couple of pages of resources at the end. I’d definitely recommend this to any adolescent audience.
