The reason for my book also being fiction is that its not based on a true story or real people. This book is about people like us handling the issues and the stress and the problems we do. Being pressured into sex. Having a baby at a young age.

She was standing in her open front door, hand on her stomach, waving frantically. “Now! Hurry!” “I got to the front step, panting already in a crisis mode, and found her smiling at me, her face excited.” “What” I said. “She took my hand and put it on her stomach, toward the middle and down, and I felt her skin, warm under my hand. I felt a ripple.. Of the baby kicking” Page 215. Chapter Thirteen. “Halley”! Come here quick!” I whirled around.

Sarah Dessen, did a great job on making this book. The reality of this novel is so real, because it happens in our everyday life. Also the fiction of this story is that Halley and Scarlett, and all the other characters in my story are not real. But the way this book is put together makes you visualize what’s actually happening. Her details are sharp and easy to understand. What wasn’t so good about this book is that it was very predictable in what was going to happen. For the most part I was very satisfied with this book.
