I tend to avoid the topics of pregnancy, childbirth, or parenting in my pleasure reading, but Wednesday Books sent me a copy of Unexpecting to review and I usually like anything Wednesday Books publishes, so I figured I'd give it a go. This book covers some tough topics, obviously- teen pregnancy, adoption, sexual identity, coming-of-age, friendship- and just like most YA, it comes at these topics through a very straight-forward lends. Sometimes I think YA is too "in your face," but I feel like this subject matter needed to be. Unexpecting didn't glorify teen pregnancy or all the tough decisions that come with it, and even though Ben seemed somewhat flippant about his decisions initially, his motives were eventually revealed to stem from sincere depth and thought. For a book heavily centering on topics I don't tend to enjoy, this book was really well done and I definitely enjoyed it. I'd recommend it for YA readers and parents of teens, for sure. Some of the robotics sections kind of bored me, but overall, it's a really great book.
