Secure Dont Think Twice Portrayed By Ruth Pennebaker Displayed In Mobi

is my third time rereading this book, It is heartwrenching and sad, But overall I really enjoyed it, Complex characters and believable emotions, Definitely worthwhile. I did see some missed opportunities for drama in the plot letters she doesn't read, religion, Harriet's story and the time period could have been realized more fully.
Didn't like the ending. This review is a little, . . late, but I've noticed that there wasn't enough reviews so why not
This story is set in the's, and is centered around a pregnant seventeen year old girl named Anne Harper.
Anne lives in a group home with other unwed mothers in Texas where she learns to be herself before giving up her baby for adoption.

Personally, I loved Anne, She has a sarcastic sense of humour, and is pessimistic,
As the story progresses, Anne starts to grow and learn,
The ending was pretty good, It was somewhat a happy ending. Sad, but in a way I guess happy,
There's some mentions of sex here which is appropriate for high schoolers or maybe middle schoolers but it's nothing explicit.
Oh my gosh, I read this ages and ages agowhen I wasorand I LOVED it, It's kind of a typical teen pregnancy story but I really liked Anne as a character, She's sarcastic and funny and so are the girls in the home she's staying in, How random to find it on a Goodreads list today! I looked for this book and was only able to find it because I remember what it was about and I remembered what the cover looked like.
That will give you an idea of the impression this book had on me when I first read it at age.
There was a time in the United States when teen girls would get pregnant and sent to a home where they would then be convinced to give their babies up for adoption so they could go home and lead normal lives without anyone knowing they were even pregnant most times.
Where are these babies Why was shame and disgrace more important than keeping your grandchild in the family, No, it's not about endorsing teen pregnancy, but it's about family, Forced adoptions and forced abortions are so traumatizing and so painful but it was a reality, This book has a voice that just tugs at you from the first page, These girls are pregnant even thought their stories are different, their pain is the same, They cannot keep their babies and how do you explain that to a teen or in some cases, a child who is a mother You grow the baby, living each day trying not to love him/her.
. . I don't know. It's a beautiful book about a very real time in history, Biting humor with heart makes this a perfect paperback for teenage girls,

Anne Harper, a seventeenyearold with a hardhitting, yet hilarious, sense of sarcasm, is living in a group home for pregnant teenagers.
As the weeks pass, she comes to realize that what is growing inside her is not just a child, but also a new awareness of herself.

Excellent novel about a teen's experience in a home for pregnant teens set inthe year I was born.
"Don't Think Twice" by Ruth Pennebaker was enjoyable to read, The book was about teen pregnancy and unwed mothers, It was so interesting as I saw a lot facts like that around me and couldn't even imagine myself at that place.
The books main character, Annie Harper, is not very popular at school and at home isn't that great either.
Her parents constantly tell her to be more like her sister, Everything changed when she met Jake, she loved the attention from a popular boy which resulted in that they were sexually active.
After that, Jake broke up with her before and he didn't even know she was pregnant, Her parents weren't supportive at all, and they sent her to live at an unwed mothers home ran by Mrs.
Landing. Place was full of girls with the same problems, Annie found hard to talk to any of the girls or attend the meetings at first, but by the end she was close with several of the girls.


The book is told through the first person point of view of Annie Harper, Her character is faced with a major life changing event and not being able to be around her family.
Annie's character is very sarcastic and negative but I feel bad for her and can't say that it was totally her fault.


Timing in the book, "Don't Think Twice" , iss, It takes place in Texas, The setting is important to the story because teen pregnancies weren't as common as it is today, It was more unacceptable and that's why she was sent away from her family,

The main theme in "Don't Think Twice" is teen pregnancy, struggles with finding out about pregnancy at a very early age, telling family and breaking up with boyfriend.
I think the main theme is so close to today's lives, . .

I would recommend this book to adults, "Don't Think Twice" is more for girls I think as it is about pregnancy, It may not be very interesting for boys but the life lesson of poor choices is expressed really well.
I liked "Don't Think Twice" by Ruth Pennebaker, because it was about teen pregnancy and unwed mothers, Teen pregnancy hits close to home for me, In this book Annie Harper is not very popular at school and at home isn't that great either, Her parents constantly tell her to be more like her sister, Annie was always the odd ball and book nerd until she met Jake, She immediately loved the attention from a popular boy and shortly after they were sexually active, Jake broke up with her before she found out she was pregnant, Her parents were so upset with her they sent her to live at an unwed mothers home ran by Mrs.
Landing. There were many others girls there, Annie refused to talk to any of the girls or attend the meetings at first, but by the end she was close with several of the girls.

The time period is significant because teen pregnancies weren't as common,

I would recommend this book to young adults and adults, "Don't Think Twice" does not have graphic details about her conceiving the baby like most teen pregnancy books, I think males and females would like this book even though its about teen pregnancy, Very Junoish! Love it! Don't Think Twice was an okay book about a teenage girl named Anne who gets pregnant by her teenage boyfriend.
Her relationship with her boyfriend wasn't very good he started only hanging out with her to get one thing from her and that's how she got pregnant.
Anne ends up going to a girl home with a lot of other girls who are in the same situation as her.
She learns a lot of stories at this home and meets a lot of different types of girls, and mostly all of them annoy her.
They are allowed to write letters home and do other activities at the home, and also have group meetings to talk about home they are doing or how they feel.
I liked this book a lot at the beginning and it was one that i couldn't put down, I liked this book because it was from the point of a teen mom and how she had to put her old life behind her and learn to deal with being pregnant.
I also liked this book because it showed that no matter what happens in your life you always have a place that will take you in.
The only thing I didnt like about it was the fact of how it ended, I enjoyed Anne's evolution, but I was disappointed in how the ending came about, After all Anne had learned, and she didn't decide to change her decisions That was sad to me, Writing was hilarious, though! Wow, . . this was a great book, I have a strong interest in teen pregnancy, and have read other novels regarding the topic, so I was especially interested in reading this one because I haven't read one before that takes place in an unwed mothers home.
Let me start by saying that everything I was worried this book was going to be turned out to be untrue.
There is a theory that the modern media is glamorizing teen pregnancy, thus increasing the problem, When I read that this book was funny, I became concerned that this was contributing to that, It wasn't. Yes, the book was funny, but it also did a very fine job discussing most of the hardships that come along with teen pregnancy.
I could really feel for the characters and had a good sense of what they were going through, Most of the characters choose to give their babies up for adoption, and I never realized how hard that would be to do until I read this book.
Speaking of the characters, they were amazing too, The main character's attitude was what made most of the book funny, Some of her comments were so funny I laughed loudly enough other people probably could hear me, But believe me, she was far from being a flat character, She was a character that had many layers to her, and you eventually got to see all of them, but you got to see them slowly and gradually.
Plus, all of her layers just come together so naturally, she's really a believable character, The other characters are good, too, The only thing this book needs improvement on is sometimes it would go into flashbacks of her prepregnancy life, and on occasion they seemed to be a little long, when I just wanted to get back to what was happening in the present.
Also, the flashbacks would also get into heavy into detail a lot, and sometimes they started to feel unnecessary.
Overall, though, this book was hard for me to put down, A common book review cliche, I know, but it's true, I love reading, but sometimes I still have a hard time motivating myself to read, Not with this book. I read it

whenever I had a free second, I finished it off in about three days, which is a big deal to me because it usually takes me a few months to actually finish a book.
Read this book. .
