This book is told in two different points of view. That of Mandy, a pregnant 18 year old looking for a better life for her baby than the one her mother gave her and Jill, a 17 year old girl who's struggling to find herself now that her father, best friend and anchor has died. 
 It's Jill's mother Robin who causes these two to meet when she decides she's going to adopt a baby, Mandy's baby. 
 Mandy's dealing with how her mother told her life was, what she told Robin and the impending birth. Jill is suspicious of her, missing her boyfriend and worried about her mother. So naturally these two find it a little hard to get along. 
 However, after some false starts, everything works out and the book ends with hope. 
 I won an ARC of this book, otherwise I really don't think I'd have picked it up. It's not my usual sort of book, but I thought to broaden my reading horizons. I got a little worried half way through, like I often do, that I wouldn't like the end, but I really did, it was the best solution ever. The only thing that could have been better would have been a longer last chapter. It was almost an open ending and I prefer the knowing over the possibility.
