"This book is all about choices. When a girl gets pregnant and finds out two months after the baby father had died she's forced to make a decisiona bout what she wants to do with her baby. It shows the bond of friendship, bond with mothers, and finding your inner self. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a drama book about teens."

    " So far this book is amazing. November and Jericho, the two main characters in the book, are going through a lot. They're both only teenagers in the 11th Grade that are experiencing adult problems. "

    " I really wanted to like this book better, but I just can't give it an enthusiastic thumbs up. I felt like the characters were very flat and, frankly, I didn't like any of them., except, perhaps, Olivia! I think this book dealt very superficially with a difficult and morally charged situation. And I just wasn't hooked into the plot. I will be interested to see how my students respond to it. "

    " I liked it a lot more than the other book (Battle of Jericho). Thing is, it had a really weird situation for the main character, considering that she's 16 and I'm only 12... anyway, it was still better than Battle of Jericho. A lot better. Funny how I read this book in November! :D "
