'Captivating but shaky'

I was scared when I first read this. But it turned out to be a pretty good book! I wouldn't say the best book but the protagonist was well portrayed and so were the rest of the characters. It got a little boring at times. The action did get picked up though. This novel is much alike many other books I've read that focus on teen pregnancy and I found it particularily similar to the novel: Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts and I recommend you to read this book if you enjoyed Dancing Naked. I think any teengaer or young adult would enjoy this book. I think every girl should read this book. Definitly a 5 star book.

Her world crumbles as she attempts to come to terms with the life growing inside her and what she must do. Initially convinced that abortion is her only option, Kia comes to understand that for her, the answers are not always black and white. As the pregnancy progresses, Kia discovers who her real friends are and where their loyalties lie. It is through her relationship with the elderly Grace that she learns what it means to take responsibility for one's life and the joy that can come from trusting oneself. Faced with the most difficult decision of her life, Kia learns that the path to adulthood is not the easily navigable trail she once thought, but a twisting labyrinth where every turn produces a new array of choices, and where the journey is often undertaken alone.
Netflix has removed a promotional image which showed girls posing in skimpy outfits in a new film called Cuties. The poster for the French drama , along with a trailer, had sparked online disapproval and a petition calling for Netflix to drop it. The award-winning drama follows an year-old who joins a dance group. Its maker says it is meant to tackle the issue of sexualisation of young girls. Netflix said it was "deeply sorry for the inappropriate artwork".
