I LOVED this book… and I’m not usually one for love stories. This book is about two high school kids, July and BoJo (Boswell Johnson), who drank a little too much champagne one night and ended up with a baby, getting married the next. The story follows their relationship and how it changes, good and bad. What surprised me was that the two characters both regretted what happened before they even knew July was pregnant… it was against their values to be “loose teenagers.” I thought it was really interesting their take on how high school life should be and how they should act and feel once they were married. The book also goes through the emotions of being in a relationship with someone you are not in love with yet. I know this all sounds negative, but the book turns around and the relationships between all of the characters are deliciously complex and interesting. It’s how two rational teenagers deal with the consequences of their actions, and what they gain for themselves because of it (despite the influence of their parents, friends and neighbors).
