Wow, this book is decidedly feminist and feels especially pointed for the times we are in right now. Set in 1970, this book is all about choices, especially the impossible choices left to pregnant girls before Roe v. Wade. It was so interesting since some of the most gruesome “horror” descriptions from this horror book are centered around childbirth. And yet, the book does not paint a wholly negative picture of this experience, as these girls ultimately would have wanted to keep their babies had that option been viable to them. It was also intriguing that the cast of this book is made up almost entirely of women, with the few men being almost completely absent, even though their actions have had indelible ramifications in the lives of the women.
