Halley and Scarlett have been best friends since they were little girls, so when Scarlett's boyfriend is killed in an motorcycle accident Halley rushes to her side. Halley comforts Scarlett during her time of sorrow and when Scarlett finds out she's pregnant, Halley is totally supportive of her friend's choice to keep her baby. But Scarlett isn't Halley's only concern. She also finds herself a boyfriend (a rolling stone who lives by his own set of rules)who expects more than she's ready to give, and she and her mother aren't exactly getting along as well as they used to.
This story is broken down into three parts. I didn't think the first part was too interesting. In fact, it was a bit boring and I didn't plan to read any further, but I kept reading and I'm glad I did because it picked up after Part I (I believe I would have been into the beginning more if I would have gotten to know Scarlett's boyfriend before the motorcycle accident)
So, this turned out to be a good read. The teen pregnancy was well-written, but the most interesting parts of the story were the conversations between Halley and her mother. Halley's father seemed to be a "passive" parent, but Halley's mother took cae of business. And I liked the chocolate shake thing.
