review 1: read this from a shipment of books to "approve" whether or not it is appropriate for our JH library collection...I appreciate the message that Ms. Levine is trying to get across and I like the way she tried to accomplish it but I had a very hard time following. There would be font changes for different voices (time period or person) and for about a third of the book i didn't have a clue what was going on and it was starting to annoy me.
review 2: I had to read it for an assignment for school, in which I had to read 3 novels intended for young adults, and I chose this because I thought it would be intriguing. Unfortunately, it fell short. The storyline has the potential to be thought provoking but instead seems rushed and almost preachy. The biggest plot twist
... moreis also handled in the last 20 pages of the book instead of actually being a focus of the story as it should be. The best part of the book is at the end when the author, Ellen Levine, shares her thoughts on abortion and young women's choices. less

I was shocked to learn about teen pregnancy in the 1950's. This book was eye opening.

A bit didactic, but an important and rarely covered topic-abortion.

There aren't many options for pregnant teens in 1956.
