There are many things I love about my Kindle. It is small, easily fitted into a purse, capable of holding hundreds of books, etc. What I love most (and what 13 year old me did not understand when she shamelessly trashed the Kindle and promised she would never own one) is that I can have my pretty bookshelves filled with classics and good literature and then turn to Jillian's Best Friend (which is what I have named my Kindle; sorry to any of my friends reading this review. I love you guys a lot though!) for my guilty pleasures. Romance novels, new adult novels, basically anything I would feel uncomfortable buying in front of my dad, is safely hidden away on my Kindle. I'm thankful for this because I don't really want Waking Up Pregnant to have a place on my bookshelf.

Waking Up Pregnant follows the typical accidental pregnancy romance cliches, but I think it does most of them well. Kelly is a good writer, and Darcy and Jeff do have serious chemistry. That chemistry pushes most of the plot forward. I am a little tired of these straight laced good girls making one mistake and getting pregnant after having sex once. I know it happens, but why do I have to read it about it in every single pregnancy romance story? Just once, I would like the girl to have a healthy sex life with different partners. Isn't that more interesting (and a little more based in reality)? I might be wrong about this (and I totally admit that), but someone, please, breathe some life into these cliches. Okay, rant over. I really only bought this because I needed a quick romance pick me up. It did the trick, but I wouldn't recommend it for more than that.
