Faking Pregnant
Nearly 750,000 teenagers get pregnant in a year. In The Pregnancy Project by Gaby Rodriguez, is a 17 year old girl who decides for her senior project she is going to fake a pregnancy.

Gaby had heard all of the mean things her classmates and family had been saying about her, her boyfriend, and their “baby”.“Jorge will leave her and then she’ll be stuck with a baby and no one else.” (Rodriguez 198). Gaby had to face these terrible messages and the classmates and family members everyday. I think it was great that I got to read what everyone had said about her behind her back. It shows that what you say, even to someone who you don’t think would tell, they will tell someone. Overall, this book was written with a purpose and Gaby’s senior project had a purpose. Reading this book showed me so many life lessons. For example, one thing is that just because you may have the same genes doesn’t mean you have to follow in their footsteps. You can make your own path through the world. And who you’ve been talking bad about behind their back, they’ll always find out. This book was a joy to read and gives an insight to the life of a high schooler, pregnant or not. I think many would agree with me when I say that this is one of the best books I’ve ever
