There were so many sweet and lovely moments in this book, with such tender writing, but periodically there were long paragraphs that felt really shoehorned in and were a bit heavy handed, giving an ABC Afterschool Special vibe. Still, a highly recommended read!

3.5 stars - Thank you to NetGalley for a copy in exchange for a review

PLAN A details the story of Ivy, a 17 year old girl who needs an abortion in a state where it is illegal. Along the way, Ivy heard the stories of other women who were in her place. These connections are woven beautifully into the story, and it looks at reproductive issues from all angles. I really enjoyed this book, seeing Ivy process her emotions and seeing her learn about how other women have been in her place.

4.5 i really enjoyed this book. deals with the heavy topic of getting pregnant after rape and getting an abortion, while being in a state where it’s illegal (thanks america!). i think out of everything in this book that i enjoyed the most, is that ivy made the right decision for her (not having the baby…. thank god.) it had some super sweet moments too between ivy and lorenzo on their trip. i’m pleased with the ending. overall a good book i found randomly, even if the topics are real and heavy.

If you think you know exactly what this book is going to be, you are right, and also expect to be completely surprised! An "abortion road trip love story" that hits on all points. Throughout history, one in four women have sought to end a pregnancy, whether it was legal or not, through whatever means necessary. Ivy knows what she needs to do, and has the loving support of her friends and family, and the means to travel. However, the rumors quickly spread around Paris, Texas, and it doesn't take long for Ivy to lose so much of what she loved about her life there. Caletti weaves in stories of other women and the choices they've made, or the choices they were never given, in order to give readers a more complete understanding of the issues surrounding reproductive rights.
