Описание книги

High school freshman Vivian Finch is ready for a fresh start. After a year of gossip and rumors leads to a falling-out with her best friend, the fifteen-year-old finds herself all alone in a new school. That is, until she meets Riley. Riley and her friends are cool, daring, and rebellious—and when they give Viv the chance to join in their adventures, how can she resist? Especially as she finds herself growing closer and closer to a certain boy in the group: shy, handsome Reid . . .
But a night of drunken fun leads to serious consequences, and for Viv and Reid, nothing will ever be the same. The Bump is an honest and emotional portrait of teen pregnancy and its bittersweet struggle. Author and high school student Lauren Castleton connects to the characters as only a fellow teenager can as she follows Viv through a life-changing year. There are no easy outs, but there is always hope. There are mistakes and consequences, but love and friendship, too. Viv must learn to be strong. She must learn who her true friends are. And she must learn who she is—for it’s only in times of adversity that we find our true selves.

Отрывок из книги

This book is dedicated to my mom, who inspires me every day, my sister Jordan, who is the reason I smile, and my dad, who told me I can do anything if I put my mind to it.

A heartfelt thanks to my mom for all of her help and insights.

I stop and panic. If I don’t go, then what? I’m stuck here alone with no way home? I’m not even sure I know what’s going on, but I don’t stop to ask. I feel the pressure to keep going, so I climb up and shimmy out the window feet first. My feet hit the pavement, and I realize I’m in the back lot of the restaurant; dumpsters line the wall to the right. I remember what Riley said and jog around front to find the car. When I get there, Kerry’s behind the wheel and Andy’s in the passenger seat. Kerry taps his fingers against the wheel impatiently until the back door next to me flies open and Riley and Reid jump in.

“Go!” Riley screams, laughing as she pulls the door shut. Kerry floors it, and the car swings out toward the main road. I notice our waitress coming out the front door of the restaurant, waving her arms furiously. I can’t hear what she’s shouting over everyone else’s laughter. Even Reid, despite his shyness, seems to have a hard time containing himself.
