The Pregnancy Project

Being a young and single mom was common in Gaby's family. Her mom and older sisters all became pregnant as teenagers. Gaby doesn't have any plans to follow their lead.

As her senior project, Gaby decides to fake a pregnancy to see how family, friends, peers, and teachers would react to her. Would they not be surprised? Was being a teen mom just something that was expected of her?

So she fakes a pregnancy through the sixth month or so when she reveals to the school in a presentation that she's actually not pregnant, and she talks about what she learned about high school students, stereotypes, and gossip.

I read this book in a day because it was quite short. I thought the premise was interesting. However, there was something about Gaby that annoyed me. At times, she comes across as a know-it-all, and quite smug. Also, the whole playing a trick/fooling people didn't sit well with me.

So not really recommending this book, just recording it as a book that I read.
