review 1: Planet Pregnancy is a book about a girl named Sahara who is like any other average high school girl, but she makes the mistake of going out with the wrong guy that gets her pregnant. Her life changes after she sees the results on a stick dipped for less than 10 seconds in her pee. The test showed that she was pregnant. She constantly goes back to that day and thinks about would she could have done differently to make sure her life didn't go wrong in any major way. I thought that this book was decent and could have had a better climax and more importantly a way better plot. But, I have also learned many things from this book, such as how important friends are and what the meaning of a true friend is. Based on what I have read, this book is more for the people who like girl ... moreand high school drama.
review 2: I really enjoyed this book, which is written in verse. It's a poignant look into a 16 year old girl's life when she "fails her EPT test." The author conveys the emotions that run through Sahara as she comes to terms with her life-changing situation. Sahara struggles through the questions of whether or not she should keep, lose, or give away the "egg" inside her. Wrestling with the issues of how to tell her mother, whether or not she should tell her baby's Bio-Dad, and how her situation will effect her friendship with her best friend whose parents are Holy-Rollers. This books tells the story without being judgmental. less
