Strange, I know, but I'm actually intrigued by teen pregnancy (and yeah, I watch *that* show) but like seeing the hardships that these kids go through. Hooked doesn't sound realistic in either its characters or the fact that the parents don't seem to have any issues in supporting the father of the baby--real life doesn't usually happen that way, and it sounds like Greenman missed an opportunity to show that.<br /><br />Thanks for the honest review!<br /><br /><br />Smiles!<br />LoriLoriStronginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10764202539292045963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150628301376368063.post-50708140949065656982011-08-21T14:21:26.539-07:002011-08-21T14:21:26.539-07:00I had this one on my wishlist because I wanted to ...I had this one on my wishlist because I wanted to see how the subject of teen pregnancy would be handled. Since I haven't seen any reviews for this one yet, it's good to know that it was handled realistically and not glamourized. I don't like the sound of either Will or Thea though and so I'll probably skip this one. If I can't connect with the characters, I usually end up not really enjoying the book.

Eve...Awe. I love babies too. I should get one. LOL<br /><br />Every preggers book I've read doesn't really keep me interested, even with all the cute babies. Plus, I don't like wasting time reading books that have boys I know I won't swoon over. <br /><br />Thanks for your honest review, B.Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150628301376368063.post-6608892603161085552011-08-21T09:26:31.768-07:002011-08-21T09:26:31.768-07:00Yeah, I'm wary of pregnancy-themed books, too....Yeah, I'm wary of pregnancy-themed books, too. It sounds like Hooked will be a book to skip; it's a bummer that the characters are story weren't all they could be. =/ Thanks for sharing your thoughts! :)Lauren Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05749629168151466704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150628301376368063.post-48783673907849586892011-08-21T07:47:36.144-07:002011-08-21T07:47:36.144-07:00Hm.

Though I'm curious as to what Will says at the end that made you almost put it down:) I'm sure it would equally piss me off!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.com
