Review:

This book is an excellent read. (Teen Titles Review)

Skilfully written and utterly riveting: my own 14-year-old was very moved by it.

This should be compulsory reading for all young people- especially boys- who are bombarded with media and peer group pressure to have sex before they are mature enough to face the consequences.

(The Northern Echo)

A perceptive and poignant tale. (Bookfest 2004)

A refreshingly different angle on the difficulties of teen parenting... Simply told, the story is clear, honest and heart-warming. (Carousel Autumn 2004)
