The Pregnancy Project by Gaby Rodriguez

Imagine living your entire life like a normal teenager, and then suddenly making a drastic change to see the reaction of society. This is what Gaby Rodriguez has to go through in order for people to realize the crucial stereotypes that are brought upon teen pregnancy. The majority of her siblings have already had to suffer through the cruel comments after going through teen pregnancy. Gabby is now on a mission to come out of her shadow and break down the stereotypes that her friends, family, classmates, and teachers view on teen pregnancy. The Pregnancy Project by Gaby Rodriguez is a kind of Autobiography book that contains many real life scenarios that any teen in our century could endure.

During Gaby’s short childhood, she was always told that she would end up being a teen mother just like the rest of her family. The last thing on Gaby’s list was to follow in her sister’s footsteps and become what everyone else had predicted. Although, Gaby had a plan, this plan entailed pretending to be pregnant to fight the stereotypes that the community foresees on teen pregnancy. Gaby hides her secret from her family, friends, schoolmates, and even her boyfriend, until the end of the book when her story is all over the news and Gaby becomes the biggest hit globally. An excerpt from the book that illustrates courage is, “It was time for the big finale, and I could hardly breath. I’m fighting against those stereotypes and rumors because the reality is…I’m not pregnant”

If you like this book, you may also enjoy, Cracked by K.M. Walton because it falls along the same guidelines as The Pregnancy Project. Both books include the terrifying reality of the teen life and include detailed experiences that teens now days really do endure. I rate this book four stars out of five because Gaby Rodriguez does an excellent job capturing the readers attention. Considering this book was an Autobiography, the author also did a fantastic job including detail about her real life occurrence. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I think every teen should read it. ...more "

This book looks very interesting because i feel like it can relate to high schoolers very well. Also, I feel like this book will keep me hanging, which i really enjoy about reading." — Nov 06, 2012 08:44AM
