The writing; It was so bad. Veronica is the conventional good girl - the conservative Orthodox Christian; Church every Sunday, no pre-marital (? Hmm) Sex. Everything changes when she and her then-boyfriend, Kevin, have sex (hmm). This guy is a douche bag. When he and Veronica have sex, he pokes holes in the condom without her knowledge, to get her pregnant. His reasoning behind it? He doesn't want Veronica to leave the small town they live in -- he wants her to stay with him. On the other hand, being the straight-A student that Veronica is, she wants to move away to go to college and do bigger and better things - she doesn't want to be kept down. She's young, and pregnancy isn't on the cards for her yet, thus making her want to get the abortion. I found Kevin to be incredibly immature- who in their right mind concludes that getting their girlfriend pregnant is the only rational way to get them not to move. Excuse me? What?!? No, that isn't okay. I needed to see him suffer some kind of consequence for his actions, but alas, he didn't.
Bailey - Veronica's childhood friend - is annoying. She's the stereotypical rebel The two girls have grown apart, and their little road trip helps rekindle their friendship. Their friendship was the only thing I remotely enjoyed about this book.
I didn't find this Book funny Either. I fail to discern how the subject matter of a girl being misled by her boyfriend into believing he used adequate protection, getting pregnant and having to drive All across the country looking for an abortion clinic To be amusing.
Also, if a lack of abortion access for women is such an important topic (which it is), it should be treated as such. In Unpregnant, it's written as a cliche adventure, wherein the main character, along with her ’friend,’ is forced to travel interstate to receive an abortion - while the (ex) boyfriend stalks them.
This book had potential, but in the end, it turned out to be a big disappointment. ...more

Good God. What an offensive and poorly conceived book.

First of all, from the reviews I've read, everyone thinks Josh is the perfect hero; sexy, loving, understanding... Just an all-round fantastic dude. Well, folks, I'm here to burst your bubble and tell you that he is not a good guy. He continually refers to Kristen as ”the cool girl, ” she swears, she drinks *gasp* beer (what? Opposed to wine or something?); she's like a unicorn. Give me a break; I'm sick of reading about women who aren't like other women because of whatever reason. That trope is overrated and outdated. She's not different nor unique just because she wears comfy clothes or eats junk food, get over yourself.
Josh also seems to think the female species are only here to breed for men - he dumped his ex-girlfriend because she didn't want children, and he expects at least 9! (preferably boys) (?!!?) Once he finds out, Kristen can't have kids; he starts researching IVF and the cost etc. Also, sorry, bud, but insurance doesn't cover IVF, so I don't know why the author said that. What about adoption or surrogacy or even foster care? Why does Josh look down on having a baby that isn't biologically his? Infertility is such a REAL issue in today's society. I feel like anyone reading this book, who can't have babies, will be outraged - and rightly so! Besides, it's the 21st Century, why are we still viewing women as baby-makers - like their *only* role in life is to provide children.
Kristen makes me so angry!! She leads Tyler - her boyfriend at the start of the book - on. The author makes Tyler out to be a bad guy, all because he likes expensive food, drinks wine (*eye roll!* What's wrong with wine and why does the author hate it so much?!), and doesn't want kids. Kristen emotionally cheats on him with Joshua (side note: she's only settled for Tyler because he doesn't want children- that's not an excuse!!); therefore, I don't respect either Kristen or Josh.
The author did most of the secondary characters dirty: Brandon did NOT and should NOT have died. His death was just an excuse to make Kristian and Joshua realize that they need to make their relationship work; that they still love each other. I HATE this trope - ”this character exists to die.” he deserved better!!
Having Kristen get pregnant at the end of the book is disgraceful. Why write a whole book about infertility (and everything that comes with that; medically, emotionally, physically and otherwise), just to have the woman who's struggling with those issues get pregnant - naturally!!! I get HEA and whatever, but that ending was wrong on so many levels. ...more

Okay, let's start with little miss Selena, shall we? Who is Selena, you ask? Well, she's the sister. Putting it nicely, Selena is the definition of a BRAT. Not to mention the fact she's completely and utterly batshit crazy. She's similarly a creep cause, oh oh oh she just loves standing in the corner and watching two people having sex.
Right, onto Vaughn and Tyra. Gosh, where do I start with these two? The following fact is my major problem with all of this.
Dunn Dunn Dunn
Is the suspense killing you yet?
The cheating.
Vaughn all but cheats on poor Tyra. Don't get me wrong it's not actual intercourse, but miss Selena gives him a BJ. And yeah, before I get, hated on I know the ’reason.’ He lets Selena give him the BJ because he wants Tyra to see it, to push her away because of blah, blah blah, blah reasons. (presumably, he wanted her to break up with him; that was his end goal). His father is in a gang and finds out his son *shocked* is falling in love and *gasp* growing up. He threatens to kill poor old Tyra if Vaughn doesn't dump her -- fast.
Ugh. The Stupidity is unbelievable here. I can think of dozens of other ways to keep Tyra safe (or break up with her gently). He did not; I repeat did not have to all but fu*k the sister for God sake. Grow up, please.
We then fast-forward several months ( between then and now Vaughn works for daddy dearest, and Tyra attends an expensive uni). Oh shocker, the FMC then returns to town pregnant with the MMC’s baby. Wtf. Why. Is. This. Plot. Point. Included. It's not needed. Okay? ... Okay....more

But alas, we are treated to another one of these pointless, annoying and incredibly drawn out books, two of them in fact.
Enter: captivated by you; story number four.
If you thought this series should have been a trilogy - like it was planned -, then you are going to be proved correct if you read #4.
Knowing captivated by you exists purely for the money, I didn't go into this with high hopes, mainly because I did not enjoy the previous editions. And As you can probably tell, I was disappointed in this book, but I wasn't surprised.
This book is filled to the brim with sex scenes; too many of them were not necessary and played no part in moving the plot along. Talking about the plot, there isn't one. I felt no spark between our leads anymore. And of course, Eva is still Eva; so very annoying and blah blah blah.
