Belly Up by Eva DarrowsMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
This is one of those problem novels about pregnancy. I'm never a fan of them, but I know there are some teenagers who eat this stuff up, so this is one I would purchase for a high school library or a YA section. Just about every kind of diversity is thrown into this novel--it almost reads like a sensitivity reader went through and added every possible type. Would teens think it seemed that way? Probably not. To me, some of it just didn't flow--it seemed added in after the book was written. But it does show that teenage pregnancy isn't the end of your life if you have a good support system, good friends, etc.
