No excuse is viable for leaving a girl alone pregnant with your baby and even if you didn't know... i's still rude to just leave without a trace.<br />lol. I loved your little mini rant on teen pregnancy. It's true that you can only blame yourself. If you come out of it strong then you have an inspiring story but if you blame other then you are just sad.Adriana @ BooksOnHerMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564998651703349031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-60316323296250677532013-10-29T18:00:59.993+01:002013-10-29T18:00:59.993+01:00I'll avoid them from now on as well.

Actually, I rarely enjoy reading books about pregnancy at all, teen or otherwise. So the premise for this one puts me off entirely, but I'm glad you liked the use of past and present storytelling.

I would have a hard time forgiving this guy. I've read other reviews for this book and have determined that this is not for me. It sounds like this wasn't really for you either. I agree with you about teen pregnancy, but I have to say that protection doesn't always work. The condom can break and the pill is not 100%. But it sounds like nothing was used here. Tough lesson. <br /><br />Great honest review! :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682335183798720529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-37224427390507831402013-10-25T16:14:39.422+02:002013-10-25T16:14:39.422+02:00My biggest fear for this one Tanja is that I hold ...My biggest fear for this one Tanja is that I hold grudges. Mean ones. So I worry I just won't be able to forgive him for leaving her when he finds out she's pregnant, even if he does come back and work hard to work things out. I think it's because for me, no time has passed since he left, so I'm still dealing with that tangle of anger and pain, but time has passed for Reena so she's more likely to try and work things out. Your mention of the ending has me thinking maybe I should just pass on this one for now until I learn to get over my grudges ;-) Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-51780649838779714392013-10-25T15:52:15.277+02:002013-10-25T15:52:15.277+02:00I hate books with teen/accidental pregnancies too....I hate books with teen/accidental pregnancies too.

The forgiveness thing seems to be a common issue. <br /><br />The teen pregnancy issue can be frustrating, but I guess I have to agree with Christy that sometimes precautions are taken and they just don't work. So I don't have a huge issue with books about it because it's realistic. However, there are lots of teens that DON'T take precautions so it's frustrating.
