This book is not one of my favorites, but I do believe it teaches a lesson in growing up and taking responsibility for yourself. Gaby is a brave young lady in high school whose mother and sisters have all gotten pregnant at a very young age. Gaby wants to prove to everyone she isn't just another stereotype so she fakes a pregnancy. My favorite part is when we learn about her family's past because it sets the mood for the story and lets everyone predict how they think she will be seen by her peers.
This book is really good. Gaby goes through a rough time working on a project. Nobody knows that she isn't really pregnant; she fakes her pregnancy. And she doesn't let everyone's harsh comments to hurt her too much. It's an amazing story of courage.
This book is Okay... My sister got pregnant at a young age also, so I know how she made it though the hard times. But I like how Gaby fakes her pregnancy to see how people would treat her. Yes, it got out of hand, but this the reason the book was written, to describe the project.
