LOLA had an author phone chat with Caroline Leavitt. Ms. Leavitt sent me a preview copy of this book, & I was honored to read it.
Re-read in October 2005.

I really enjoyed the first part of this book but the middle part of the story felt too rushed for me. We got her day to day life story for a long time and suddenly, years were passing in a few sentences. I get that she obviously couldn't spell out an entire ten year span, but the skipping forward so quickly made me like the book a little less than I would have otherwise. Still an enjoyable read though!

Girls In Trouble was kind of like reading a Lifetime movie. It involves a teenage pregnancy and a very open adoption. Then, ish gets weird. Naturally, I loved it.

sara, pregnant at 16, selects george and eva rivers to be the adoptive parents of her baby. she loves the couple and they love her, and they plan for an open adoption, with lots of visits and help from sara. but after anne is born, it's harder than they expected to share her, and eva & george ultimately decide that they can't.
riveting but kind of depressing. like jodi p, there's a somewhat controversial issue seen from a few different perspectives.

"Girls in Trouble" is, hands-down, one of the best books I have ever read. The story is compelling, but what really sets it apart is the storyteller. Each character is richly drawn -- so richly drawn that you understand (while maybe disagreeing with) each decision the character makes. It is a rare author who can truly tell a story from so many different angles, while still maintaining a beautiful, complex story that spans many years and growth of the characters through those years.
In short, five stars just doesn't seem enough for this novel.
