Oh god.
First of all, I Am PRO choice.
Kay, with that out of the way:
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.
