Oh, this is a good one! Jill is dealing with grief--her dad was killed in a car accident. She isn't the best griever--she's lost her friends and her boyfriend is on-again/off-again. Her mother decides that a baby is just what their family needs and proceeds with an open adoption with Mandy, a pregnant teen. Mandy has her own problems--her mom is loopy and has raised with her a skewed sense of self. She isn't sure who the father of her baby is--her one-night stand at the fair? Or her mom's boyfriend? Either way, she knows that Jill's mom would be a better mother to the baby, so adoption is the only solution. Right?
This is the kind of chick lit book that's serious and gut-wrenching. The title is soooo appropriate--everyone in the book needs saving.
