I like that even though she hasn't had much experience herself she feels driven to do something. I'm all for supportive friends and family (especially parents) as well, which makes this book appeal to me all the more :)Olivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-14537446074156895252019-01-25T13:02:02.777-05:002019-01-25T13:02:02.777-05:00The looks of that cover are deceiving.

Thus, we see a successful teen mom, and that was something I liked in the story. Because of this, Lacey's mom was always upfront about sex, and as a labor and delivery nurse, she was well educated. Lacey also was a doula, and we get to accompany her to a delivery. So, it was well established that women's health was something Lacey was passionate about.Samantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-62769468967881228752019-01-25T06:16:14.333-05:002019-01-25T06:16:14.333-05:00It can definitely be a touchy subject for some, bu...It can definitely be a touchy subject for some, but I know there are kids out there, that would appreciate an honest discourse on the subject.

I remember reading about how our bodies work, but it was very vague and didn't really teach us anything. It was that awkward, weird class that people snickered at and didn't talk about once it was over. I wish schools took sexual education more seriously, and didn't limit what they teach because they're afraid of "corrupting" young minds.Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-82028164186530426182019-01-24T23:54:20.065-05:002019-01-24T23:54:20.065-05:00I love that she wanted to educate not only herself...I love that she wanted to educate not only herself, but others as well. I think it's important for people to want to learn about the world and what they're passionate about. My husband and I try to instill a love of learning in our house, and we want school to be something our children enjoy. However, we also want to encourage them to pursue the topics and areas that interest them, even if it's not being covered in their classes. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this one!
