Mallory | 7 comments I’ve been looking for this book for years now. I read it when I got my first nook (So maybe around 2009-2011) I can’t remember how the beginning plays out, first thing I remember is that she is raped, and she later realizes that she is pregnant. I can’t remember if she has an abortion or if she miscarries, but after that she goes to school one day and some jerks at school had painted “Baby killer” on her locker. I hope somebody knows what I’m talking about because this is all I can very clearly remember and I’ve been looking for this book for so long with no luck.

Asisha Joseph I think it's "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson

Mallory | 7 comments I have looked up “Speak” and I don’t think that’s it... the beginning of the book I’m thinking of starts off before the rape happens. I could be remembering wrong but I believe she had a crush on a guy and the guy’s friend is the one who end up raping her. I’ve seen several books that sound similar to the one I’m thinking of but after looking into them further it doesn’t seem to fit what I remember at all. The biggest thing I remember is the part where she sees “baby killer” on her locker at school. I believe she even goes home and tries to commit suicide after she sees it???

Possibly Choices by Kate Buckley? It's available on Nook and the plot seems to fit.

Mallory | 7 comments I’m going to look more into it, but I don’t think the school the Main Character goes to is an all-girls school.

Mallory | 7 comments I bought an ebook of Choices and read/skimmed through it and it’s not the book I’m thinking of. It didn’t have the scene I remember so vividly of the bullies at school painting “Baby killer” on her locker.

Mallory | 7 comments Update: I found the book!!!! I figured out the old email/password connected to my nook and it was still there in my library! For anybody interested it’s called October Breezes by Maria Rachel Hooley
I’ll change the topic to solved once I’m able to get my laptop
