Guardian Unlimited Books | Review | When Amy met Stanley
Adele Geras on Love, Fifteeen, Ros Asqwuith's breezy novel about teenage pregnancy:
Asquith is light where other writers would be heavy, but that doesn't mean she doesn't care. There's real emotion here and a lot about love in all its forms, and some of the scenes that could be presented as tragedy she delivers as farce. The moral of the book is: if you're going to sleep with your boyfriend, be very careful and more than careful, and if you do get pregnant, there are options and it's not the end of the world....
