YA
When good-girl Evelyn falls for bad-boy Todd, all bets for a bright future are off and the soon-to-be valedictorian gets pregnant. The difficult decision soon becomes whether to keep the baby or give it up, and the narrative's ongoing debate will keep readers guessing. This is a compelling pregnant-teen story and the topic is given sensitive treatment by Carter.
