A touching story that grapples with the challenges of teenage pregnancy while trying to navigate poverty and gentrification. Usually, I find it difficult to enjoy books that deal with teenage pregnancy. However, I was invested In B'onca's journey from the beginning to the end and was rooting for her to overcome her circumstances despite it all. There were moments in the book that had me in tears because I sympathized with her character so much. I enjoyed this book, but there were some plot lines that I wish were more fleshed out, like the problem she was having with Scooter's parents. The ending came too soon for me, and there were still loose ends I would have liked to see tied.
