Thank you for this review. I am pretty sure I’ll be staying away from this book. I can stomach a lot of things, but making light of abortion isn’t one of them.

Interesting. I had this book in the TBR pile. I will probably still read it…but it’s going to move further down the list.

Honestly, I didn’t really know what it was about. It’s good to get an honest opinion and facts about the book.

I think as an adult I would like it more than I would if I were still a teen. I can guarantee you that as a teen I would be hurling the book across the room. As an adult though, my curiosity is piqued by your review.

Wow, that is crazy. I might be old and cranky too, but this book sounds like it has too many liberal views for me.

Thanks for your review. It is much appreciated.

Glossing over the heartwrenching and life changing decision it can be to have an abortion would have made me stop reading the book most likely. Just because you think something is a valid option, doesn’t mean it has to look like a trip to Disneyland.

Thank you for not picking this one to go on.

I agree with you, the idea that it’s told from the guy’s POV is intriguing, but all the glossing over, fun without consequence and the non-sequitor homosexuality makes me wonder if they’re passing it out at Planned Parenthood. :-/ Def not a book I’d hand my YA.

Great review, btw, love the points.

What a great review! I had heard mostly positive thoughts about this one, but it’s good to hear an another side of it. I think I still want to read it, but I’ll lower my expectations a little so I won’t get too disappointed now.

Thanks for listing the things you had problems with. I think I’d have a problem with some of those things, too, so I appreciate the warning. I haven’t read this book, so I don’t have an opinion on how this author approaches sex, but like you, I prefer when there’s some discussion about what it means to be intimate with someone.
