- About the Book
-
‘Young adult fiction that manages to deal with a sensitive issue yet doesn’t thrust too much teenage anguish upon us … A story about change, agency and responsibility, with a pleasant mix of stylistic neatness and thematic uncertainty.’ — Sydney Morning Herald
‘This novel is written in a manner that is both honest and touching, as it does not attempt to give a fairy-tale ending and is extremely realistic.’ — Courier Mail
‘Wolfer paints both scenarios so convincingly that this book begs re-reading and discussion. For teenage boys and girls it should be compulsory reading.’ — The West Australian
‘… Dianne Wolfer has given honest, non-judgemental pictures ofthe consequences of two different courses of action.’ — Magpies
‘Wolfer writes with compassion and honesty, allowing the characters to tell their own story.’ — Reading Matters
Elisabeth’s hand trembled as she lifted the jar of warm liquid. She took a deep breath and poured it over the plastic tester. Then, the blue lines appeared. Elisabeth stared at the tester and knew that now she had to make a choice. Libby or Beth. Pregnant or not.
Elizabeth has to make the choice of her life. Seventeen and pregnant: does she sacrifice her dreams for a baby, or do something she’s not sure she can live with? Under pressure from her parents, she’s juggling a boyfriend she’s not sure she can trust, a best friend she keeps pushing away and her own indecision. Something’s got to give. It’s the hardest year she’s ever faced — what choice will she make?
