📖REVIEW: . I was lucky enough to receive a copy of Unpregnant from @scholastic_au for review. . Trigger Warning: Abortion . . . . This follows seventeen-year-old Veronica Clarke who is grappling with an unexpected pregnancy and the decision to go through with an abortion. There is a tonne of obstacles that she has to overcome in order to get to the abortion clinic located over 900 miles away from her town. . This book had both awesome moments and not-so-great moments, I think it has merit and is the kind of story I wish was accessible to me as a younger woman in high school. Teenagers often only have sex-ed to work with when dealing with their sexual health and sexual experiences, so having a book about a teenage girl that explores themes that adults often avoid when talking to teenagers would have been wonderful. . This is the only aspect of the book that made me think it wasn't going to be a favourite for the year was that the plot took a turn about halfway through that made me question all the validity up until that point. I really had to suspend disbelief for a minute in order to be able to continue the book. After a while, I was able to forget about that and jump back into the meat and veg of the story again. . I was rooting for Veronica, I genuinely enjoyed the connections she made and cheered when certain ass holes got served some ice-cold karma. I do think that the real underlying plot of this story could have been delivered in a less campy, over-the-top manner, some of the outrageous plot points took away from the real discussion in my opinion. But I did really enjoy this book, I think it's important to have YA literature that discusses topics of teen pregnancy in a way that doesn't show abortion as something negative. . I rated this 3.5 stars. .
