It was an okay book. It really wasn't my kind of book, I got bored with it and it's rather predictable. I knew what happened before I even finished the first chapter so that shows how predictable these kinds of books are. I was glad when I get the book finished, it just wasn't my kind of book there wasn't enough excitement in it for me.
The 1950's are much different then they are today when it comes to pregnancy of teens. Now a days when a teenager gets pregnant people really could care less, we just see it so often anymore that we don't really pay attention to it. But in the 1950's if an teenager got pregnant they were forced to get married to the baby's daddy or if they didn't they were shipped off to have it with no support from their family's it was sad really.
