So when Josh, an eager virgin with a troubled home life, leads her from a party to the backseat of his van, Ellie follows. But their one-time thing is far from perfect: Ellie gets pregnant. Josh reacts with shame and heartbreak, while their confidantes, Caleb and Corinne, deal with their own complex swirl of emotions. No matter what Ellie chooses, all four teenagers will be forced to grow up a little faster as a result. Told alternately from each characters point of view, this deeply insightful novel explores the aftershocks of the biggest decision of one fragile girls lifeand the realities of leaving innocence behind.
