SOON TO BE A MOVIE FROM HBO MAX!
Perfect for fans of Juno and Jennifer E. Smith, Unpregnant is a heartfelt and hysterically funny YA debut about fierce friendship, reproductive rights, and the wild road to adulthood.
“Hilarious. A remarkable debut.” —Stephen Chbosky, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower
“A buddy road trip novel so funny, touching, and surprising, readers will forget it’s also important. Honest and relatable!” —Alex Flinn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beastly
Seventeen-year-old Veronica Clarke never thought she’d want to fail a test—that is, until she finds herself staring at a piece of plastic with two solid pink lines. With a college-bound future now disappearing before her eyes, Veronica considers a decision she never imagined she’d have to make: an abortion.
There’s just one catch—the closest place to get one is over nine hundred miles away. With conservative parents, a less-than-optimal boyfriend, and no car, Veronica turns to the only person who won’t judge her: Bailey Butler, a legendary misfit at Jefferson High—and Veronica’s ex-best friend.
What could go wrong? Not much, apart from three days of stolen cars, crazed ex-boyfriends, aliens, ferret napping, and the betrayal of a broken friendship that can’t be outrun. Under the starlit skies of the Southwest, Veronica and Bailey discover that sometimes the most important choice is who your friends are.
This breakout novel is from authors Jenni Hendriks (writer for How I Met Your Mother) and Ted Caplan (music editor for The Hate U Give).
“A stellar, timely debut.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Timely, hilarious, and heartfelt.” —Kirkus (starred review)

Quotes

  • Minahas quoted2 years ago
    At my core I knew, and I’d known since I first suspected it was a possibility, that a baby was not right for me, not now. Every cell of my being
    rebelled against the idea
  • Minahas quoted2 years ago
    She was right. Of course she was. Offering to take her to see her dad was just an easy way to absolve myself of all the wrongs I’d done. And Bailey wasn’t easy. She never was. It was why I’d rushed into the arms of new friends once we entered high school. Friends whom everyone liked. Friends who did what was expected. Friends who didn’t question. Friends who didn’t push. Friends who didn’t ask for anything. Simple friends. Empty friends.
  • Minahas quoted2 years ago
    “I should be able to just walk down the street and say, ‘Hello, my name is Veronica, my boyfriend is an asshole, here is my five hundred dollars, oh yes, I’d love a cup of water, thanks so much, ten-minute wait? No problem.”
