Plan A by Deb Caletti
3.0
3.5 stars
Plan A tells the story of 16 year old Ivy, who has to take a roadtrip out of state to get an abortion after becoming unexpectedly pregnant. Her boyfriend, not the father of the baby, joins her, and the two of them encounter various people along the way with stories of their own.
Overall, I really wanted to enjoy this story, but I found that it didn't land as I had hoped. The circumstances around her pregnancy were a little confusing to me, and I am not entirely sure I'm clear on what happened. On the positive side, the author did a great job of sharing many stories around motherhood, pregnancy (planned and unplanned), and reproductive rights. Any book that champions the right for women to have agency over their bodies is an important one.
