Natasha Friend - For Keeps - ebook in PDF format Long Description:
Growing up in Elmhurst, Massachusetts, high-school junior Josie is close with her single-parent mom, Katie, 33, who got pregnant as a teenager. Mother and daughter have a lot of fun together, sometimes switching roles, but then Paul, the father Josie has never met, comes back to town. Will Josie run into him? Why did he leave after he found out Katie was pregnant and never contact them again? Did he want Katie to have an abortion? With the mother-daughter relationship at the core of this lively novel, the contemporary story also weaves in many subplots about Josie’s romance with her boyfriend and her friendship with her best pal, Liv, who has a happy family with two gay dads. Is Liv pregnant? Abortion is a recurring theme, and so is family. But this isn't just an issue-driven story. There is a real plot, filled with fast, immediate dialogue and secrets about Josie’s mother, father, and grandparents that continue to the novel's end. Grades 8-11.
