Jumping Off Swings by Jo Knowles

I absolutely loved this book!

Ellie: Normal high school girl who has the difficult experience of becoming pregnant in high school.

Josh: It was his first time and it definitely didn't go as planned. He can't seem to be there for Ellie even though he knows she needs support.

Corinne: As Ellie's best friend she struggles to help Ellie through this difficult time. She's certainly no expert with boys.

Caleb: Josh's best friend who finds out about Ellie for him. Through the whole experience he finds a relationship with Corinne.

I loved how the story was told through the different points of view so you really saw how Ellie's situation was affecting everyone. It was an emotional book, but I loved it all the same. I enjoyed how there was no twist at the ending for a change. I won't say what happened, but I liked how you were left on the edge of your seat not really knowing what would happen.
