| Publisher Description: "With some teen romance on the side, this is an absolute must read for any book lover." - InD'tale - Runner-Up in the 2017 RONE Awards Perfect for readers who loved After and Juno--this moving YA contemporary is the story of a super-smart teen girl with an unplanned pregnancy and an impossible choice. Acceptance into MIT means everything to eighteen-year-old Kansas Jones, who is class president, top female swimmer on the varsity team, a straight-A student, and member of the local teen robotics club. But one misstep leads to an unplanned pregnancy that threatens to unravel her immaculate resume. Twelve weeks seems like plenty of time to have an abortion, except things are stacking up: finals, college applications, her MIT interview, and finishing the robot for the R2-RoboCon competition. When a close family member loses a child, Kansas sees how she could fix everything. But is she willing to give up her dreams for the future to carry this unplanned pregnancy to term--and will she really be able to give the baby up for adoption in the end? Don't miss this beautiful story that tackles important issues of family and teen pregnancy. |
