"This is the first time I have been pregnant. It is much more improtant than the first time I had my period."
Duh, it's more important! The language in this book honestly drives me nuts because she seems so monotone and these are huge life circumstances! What girl would think 'Oh being pregnant is more important than my first period.' I'm sure most girls would have a bigger reaction that Mellie's. Mellie also is a detached character which makes it more disturbing because as a reader, I feel like I'm experiencing all the emotions that she should be having, but the book simply doesn't say it. I'll admit that I felt like this book was incomplete and had an ending that made me feel uneasy. I suppose it was an interesting read, but I think for me, once it enough
