Riding in Cars With Boys by Beverly Donofrio (#8)

It's going to be very difficult for me to not compare this book with it's movie that I am so terribly fond of.  Actually, the book is not like the movie. At all! I was very surprised. I was hoping to have sort of an extension of the movie, because I cannot get enough of this movie.  But I was disappointed.
The book was fairly enjoyable. It follows the struggle of a teenager who unexpectedly becomes a mother at 15.  She's very negative throughout the entire book, which makes it hard to like the character.  The book ended very abruptly, which was odd, and I didn't much care for it.  I felt the story kind of dragged on, and I didn't fall in love with it as I had the movie.
