This book took a little over two hours to read. Its vocabulary was easy, and its chapters were short. The book is set in New York City. The readers are experiencing the story from the point of view of Bobby, the sixteen-year-old dad. Bobby is reflecting on the present and the past. The "then" and "now" chapters lead to the climax of the book which is the baby's earlier-than-expected birth, the explanation as to why the mother is not involved, and the ultimate decision not to give the baby to adoptive parents.
It was interesting to read the book from a teen dad's point of view. Bobby had an unbreakable love and attachment to the baby, which to be honest, is hard to believe of a teenager.
My favorite part of the book is when Bobby is kept after class in Lit. His teacher is asking about parenthood, but it is clear that the teacher doesn't know what to say. The teacher abruptly leaves the room. This scene was crisply realistic.
