Review: Plan A

Plan A by Deb Caletti
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Ivy is pregnant.  She knows how it happened, but she didn’t have sex!  She planned to work this summer and spend time with her boyfriend; now she is planning a road trip to her grandmother’s house where abortions are still legal.  Lorenzo has planned their road trip to hit small towns along the way … from Paris, Texas to Rome, Oregon.  As Ivy meets people, she learns there are many stories and many feelings about what she plans to do.

Plan A is a stand-alone realistic story that covers a very tough issue but definitely has an agenda.  Caletti takes a controversial topic and breaks it down for young readers to contemplate.  I will admit that I do not agree with many ideas that were expressed in the pages, but I can also see people in the United States having these views and opinions.  An OK read, just know that this book does have an agenda and it is not hidden.
