The Pregnancy Project by Gaby Rodriguez
5.0
The pregnancy project was literally one of my favorite books I've ever read, and I loved the lifetime movie adaption almost as much too.
Gabby Rodriguez breaks down stereotypes that have followed her family and many other families by exposing things friends, students, family, and faculty members say about her while she pretends to be pregnant.
A good portion of the book focuses on her families past and how the stereotypes were involved in her family, making it easier to understand why she chose to do such a presentation in the first place. The next part focuses on actually putting together the project and gathering reactions from those around her and finally presenting the project.
There is a small bit after the project that explains how she was contacted by reporters and also how her friends, family, and people around her reacted to finding out that she wasn't actually pregnant.
All in all, this book was very eye opening and a very quick and easy read.
