This novelette is based on a screenplay the author originally wrote as a Senior in high school, for her Drama class. It is also based on a real current day love affair, with the same theme of teenage pregnancy.
Wow. Just wow. Angela and Jason is the kind of book that lingers with you long after you've turned the final page. Their story isn't easy, and that's what makes it so impactful. The ups and downs, the emotional push and pull, the way they both evolve as individuals and as a couple it all feels so authentic. Lisa Lillian Manfrede has a true gift for character development and emotional storytelling. I laughed, cried, and cheered for them the entire way. A stunning read.
