This book helped me realize that I enjoy books with teen moms, so that made it even more enjoyable. The whole story read as a slice of life, coming of age story. I liked that the main climax wasn't a prom or some big romantic thing, it was more so about Emoni and her life and decisions. She's also a mature young adult rather than an annoying still developing teen, although she is still developing and growing.
