review 1: This review can also be seen on chillreviews.blogspot.comI enjoyed this story.. I can relate to Laurel, I was a teen mom. I can't imagine being at school, finding out you're pregnant, and feeling like you can't talk to your parent.Laurel is a mess. She doesn't feel like she can talk to her dad, all he does is work and that's all he's done since her mom died. Now she's pregnant and she doesn't think she has anyone she can turn to. Finding a doctor and deciding what she's going to do. I know the process is hard to decided what you can do and how you're going to. Following the ups and down she faces, its a good lesson. Not all things are easy, its not a walk in the park and its not easy and if she'd asked for help things could of been a tad bit easier.So much going on in thi... mores book and in her mind, you'll have to read it and find out!!

review 2: When I read the synopsis for Freshman Forty it immediately struck me as something I would enjoy. It’s a great mix up in the new adult genre from the usual steamy romance and built up sexual tension of freshman college students. Freshman Forty is about a college freshman who gets pregnant and then has to deal with the struggles of her choice, to tell her father and the baby’s father all while keeping up her grades and dealing with her first year in college.The main character, Laurel, was exceptional. I loved her. She was SO realistic for a college freshman. Outside of her struggles with the pregnancy situation she was dealing with her disconnect from her father, his remarrying after the death of her mother, finding her way in a new world at college, trying to keep up with the heavy course load and experiencing the connection with a new-found crush. I loved her voice and her independence. She was just so determined, even though it might have seemed that way and I LOVED her. I also really liked Mike and Amber. They were both steady rocks for Laurel, and while they both had a disappearance they were always in Laurel’s corner.This story captivated me. I didn’t move the entire time I read it, I could not put it down. I loved the plot, the pacing and the entire story. Honestly, I cannot rave enough. The fact that the story itself is so different from what I’ve read in new adult thrilled me and Christine Duval’s writing is just amazing and incredibly easy to read. One of the things I enjoyed most was the fact this is not a romance story. Granted there is a bit of romance in it but the story is not focused on that, it’s focused on Laurel’s journey.The ending was great. It ended in such a way I didn’t feel starved like I do after a big cliffhanger but in a way that definitely makes you need to read the next book. I cannot wait happen’s next with Laurel. I absolutely recommend this to anyone that likes realistic contemporary. It’s a beautiful story. I laughed, I cried and I will definitely be purchasing this one in hard copy less
