In Angel's Choice you read about a teenage girl who becomes pregnant and all the decisions she must make. While I did enjoy the book I felt that some of it was pretty obvious that it could not, or would not happen in real life.
When I was a teenager my teen best friend did become pregnant and then married and became pregnant again. She was not treated badly by the other students in the school becuase of it, if anything she was treated much better than she was before she became a pregnant teen.
I do think that Lauren did an excellent job describing the feelings of the parents. That was very realistic. I was even moved to tears when Angel's father told her how much her loved her while they went on their fishing trip. I was dissapointed however that just because Angel was having a baby it was said that this would probably be their last fishing trip. Well ok, maybe the author was just trying to express that when you have a baby some parts of your life are never the same but I can think of a million different ways to express that without using a fishing trip (which imo is rediculous). Of course you can always get a baby sitter and go fishing with your dad!
All in all this was a pretty enjoyable read.
