I really enjoyed this book because it relates to myself. Many may not see, but being a teenage parent is very, very difficult... I never saw their point of view until I became a teenage parent.

This book is well written, and teaches a very good lesson. It decribes things you only hear about, but when you read it it's like your present. I'm 15 myself, so this book points out things that are real if this were to ever happen to you.
