Unexpected

A Novel

De: LaLa Thomas

Narrado por: Angel Pean, Bahni Turpin

The bond between two best friends is put to the test when one of them gets pregnant in this “powerful and timely” (award-winning author Angela Johnson) contemporary young adult novel for fans of Angie Thomas and Elizabeth Acevedo.

Erykah was looking forward to junior year at East Prep High. She has a cute boyfriend, gets good grades, and has the best bestie. Money is tight, though that’s nothing new in her world. But everything changes when she gets pregnant. Having a baby at sixteen was definitely not part of the plan.

Kelly’s plan was to dominate junior year—grade-wise and on the basketball court—and eventually get an athletic scholarship. It did not include helping her best friend through a pregnancy. But that’s what best friends do, right? Besides, Kelly has every intention of being a good auntie.

As the two girls navigate the pregnancy, they’ll learn some harsh realities about the world and be forced to make some huge decisions. They’ll also discover a deep reserve of strength and compassion…for each other and themselves.

Exquisite

Bahni Turpin and Angel Pean did a phenomenal job narrating. Did not expect anything less :).

Much respect for author

I appreciate this author for showing both sides of coin. We are in a world where the young generation can easily be influenced to be anti-choice and this book shows how it’s a woman’s choice. That being said it was also good that it showed both choices do come with consequences.

Great story
