Every Little Thing in the World by Nina de Gramont
3.0
Sydney is 16 and has a slight problem - she's pregnant. And when she and her friend Natalia are caught stealing Natalia's parents' car, neither share Sydney's condition or the fact they were on their way to tell the father, Tommy.
Sydney's mom sends her off to her dad who decides her punishment is to go on a month-long canoe trip with no technology. Sydney actually can't wait to go. One more surprise, Natalia is also going. Sydney knows she's getting an abortion, but Natalia tries to change her mind. And instead of letting her forget about being pregnant, Natalia brings it up while dealing with her own birth issues. Along for the ride comes boys, friendships, and food poisoning that ends in Sydney's ultimate decision.
Sydney isn't really a great character at first - she gets into trouble and can't explain why to her mom. However, she seems like an average and typical teenager. Her feelings about forgetting about the pregnancy, ignoring it. The only thing I wish the book had were some resources for people in her condition in the back. The book is entertaining and very realistic.
