One Night by Margaret Wild
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
October 2 – October 3
Summary – Gabe is the best looking guy in school—that’s why his friends send him to get girls to their party. Helen is not much to look at—that’s why her friends want her to come along. But Helen gets under Gabe’s skin in a way no other girl has.
It was one night. One night with lasting consequences. Now Helen has to decide if she wants to keep the baby—and if she should tell Gabe, who hasn’t spoken to her since their one night together.
Filled with love, fear, and the tough choices born of casual acts, One Night is a passionate and compellingly readable novel about teen life, the hardships of parenthood—and the joy and forgiveness between family and friends.
Review – one night changed everything for Helen she goes to a party and meets Gabe a player with the girls he’s known for one night stands but Helen finds out she is pregnant .she tries to tell Gabe but he doesn’t answer she leaves her house gets a job and Gabe well he’s had alot he’s been through his mom left him he has unopened letters from her . Helen has a baby boy she’s living with nice people and she finally has to tell the father and he is a good father considering he ignored Helen . Helen parents are interesting I hate her father and her mom doesn’t really have a voice I love verse books there kind of like poetry in book form this was an interesting story about a teen pregnancy it was realistic and I like that .
Quote “You’re a tough little bird, Hen. Never forget that.”
