Trouble by Non Pratt
(Published in UK February 20, 2014;
US release date June 10, 2014)

There’s a pile of clothes on the floor and I want to jump up and down on them and scream, only I’m worried Mum’ll hear and I don’t want her to know. Her answer will be to look at those stupid magazines and suggest I try some of the frumpy bump-friendly fashion that I would only wear if I had a brain transplant. I feel like there’s something wrong with me — I’m supposed to want to be a different person now that I’ve been sperminated, but I don’t. I want to be Hannah, just pregnanter. What’s so wrong with still wanting to look good? With wanting to show off my new improved pregnancy curves in push-up bras and clothes that look teen not tragic? I want people to think Hannah before they think pregnant.

Ah, the fashion crises of a teen mom! But seriously, this story of a pregnant 15-year-old and the boy who befriends her is sad, sweet, funny, and honest.

I just finished the book last night — check out my review here.
