" It took me a while to get me into the book, but after the 3rd chapter it was just a page turner. I couldnt put it down(:! "

" I really liked this book at first. It was intriguing and definitely different. The characters were well developed and the author clearly shows how someone who really isn't a bad person can do something so terrible. I thought it was a really good book... Right up until the last few pages. I really hated the end. When I put the book down after finishing it, I was really annoyed with the whole book because what had started so well, and had kept me interested until the end, was completely ruined by the last few pages. "

" the book was good.i stayed glued until the end.i didn't like the fact that it left me with questions. "
— Brittany, 12/30/2013 -
" This was a pretty riveting story about a teen mother who throws her baby into a dumpster, and goes into total denial about it. The end was a little lackluster, but the story was well done. "
— Kaye, 12/9/2013 -
" Absolutely loved this book! I heard about it on youtube and i thought at first it wouldn't be my thing, glad i picked it up anyways! "
— Amanda, 6/24/2013 -
" The main character is quite annoying. I was very close to wanting her to fail. "
— Kelli, 3/21/2013 -
" Good book but the ending was left a little undone but a good read otherwise. "
— Tiffany, 2/24/2013 -
" This book has to be the one. I was so emotional the last pages were blurry as I read through my tears. This book is a wonderful look inside a teen mother's eyes, and a heartfelt, REAL story instead of a sad attempt. Do NOT read if you can't handle it. <3 "

" has a very surprising ending! "
— Mikki, 6/17/2012 -
" This book drove me insane, because I kept wanting to hate the girl, Devon, because of what she did, but I could understand how it happen. I'm actually suprised that I finished it so easily. It was very good. "

" So sad but probably more true to the way the world is than I realize "
— Karla, 6/30/2011 -
" Another YA book, but I think some teenagers should read it...might be a good book for some to relate to?!?! "

" WHAT ABOUT THE BABY!?!??! AND CONNOR?!?!?! "
— Hanyah, 6/27/2011 -
" Very interesting read. Compeling and emotion invoking. What kind of person throws their baby away like a piece of garbage? Who could do such a thing? This is a story that tries to answer that very question. <br/> <br/> "
— Courtney, 6/27/2011 -
" Wasn't sure how to feel about this one. The idea was interesting (getting in the heads of "women who don't know that they are pregnant" and "women who leave their babies in dumpsters) but I just had a hard time believing this girl could be THAT in denial. "
— Christie, 6/25/2011 -
" a cop out ending i couldn't stand. "
— Kaitlyn, 6/24/2011 -
" Good companion to Boot Camp...not exactly a parallel, but shows a 15-year old teen soccer player who denies her pregnancy and then suffers a spiral of daunting consequences including incarceration. "
— Nancy, 6/21/2011 -
" Listened to on tape. I think femle students may connect and gain perspective on a girl faced with pressures to "be good" and then dealing with the fallout of not... "
— Annettelang12, 6/20/2011 -
" Very powerful book. I was shocked that I related to the main character at all. You could sense her fear, confusion and denial through the pages. You understood why she did what she did. "
— Gus, 6/20/2011 -
" This book is fantastic and well written very emotional overall very nice "
— Kailah, 6/18/2011 -
" This was really good! Not worth spending 100 dollars on, but definitely a good find. "
— Lunabell, 6/16/2011 -
" It was a good book, but it was very over detailed. "
— Darcy, 6/15/2011 -
