Families don’t always “match on the outside,” but they “matched on the inside, and that’s all that counts. And that’s what family means to me.”
Eli Cartright is a teacher who specializes in working with teenage parents, helping them to find alternatives so they can raise their children and finish school. She is more than a teacher however, she is a mentor to many of these students coming through her classroom, providing the support they ...more

What is a teacher who heads up the teen pregnancy program supposed to do when she gets unexpectedly pregnant? She tells her long-time boyfriend and hopes for the best. Well, for Eli that didn't mean a marriage proposal. He wanted nothing to do with a baby. It wasn't in his plans or in the plans they had made.
Eli is scared but determined that her baby will be happy with just her. Hadn't she taught her students to look at their pregnancies as blessings, not something to be hated. Stil...more

I liked the concept better than the execution. The plot is guidance counselor, Eli, for young pregnant teens gets pregnant herself. Her longtime boyfriend wants nothing to do with the baby and this gives Zac Keller the opportunity to ask Eli out.
Eli is 10 years older than Zac. She's pregnant with another man's baby. She's pretty sure that she doesn't want to be dating anyone.
There is a lot of external exposition here and it made the story very flat. Further, while I...more

I grabbed this one on the way to the hairdressers for 2 reasons. Recognized the authors name from Cathy Mann and it looked interesting.
The romance was subtle, the book is simply too long in length - time wise covers 6mths - with too few pages to allow for any real depth. It does hit all the major points in pregnancy and romance building. I was glad her ex was dealt with from the beginning and although he kept popping up she stood her ground and told him she wasn't interested in "...more

I think this is book is well written and very informative on teen pregnancy and the lack of assistance foor the kids from school systems. The twist where the teacher has a non-planned pregnancy and how it affects her life and her students is very smart writing. The story doesn't revolve just around the holidays so it is a good read for those not ready for Christmas stories yet. I read this 200+ book in around 3 hours or so. It keeps you interested.
This was a very touching story of finding love in unexpected places, and discovering parts of yourself that you never knew existed. I very much enjoyed it and it's very highly recommended!
