I Know It's Over Review

Title: I Know It's Over
Author: C.K. Kelly Martin


Summary:


PURE. UNPLANNED. PERFECT. Those were Nick’s summer plans before Sasha stepped into the picture. With the collateral damage from his parents’ divorce still settling and Dani (his girl of the moment) up for nearly anything, complications are the last thing he needs. All that changes, though, when Nick runs into Sasha at the beach in July. Suddenly he’s neck-deep in a relationship and surprised to find he doesn’t mind in the least. But Nick’s world shifts again when Sasha breaks up with him. Then, weeks later, while Nick’s still reeling from the breakup, she turns up at his doorstep and tells him she’s pregnant. Nick finds himself struggling once more to understand the girl he can’t stop caring for, the girl who insists that it’s still over.


Review:


C.K. Martin seems as if she really understood relationships between teenagers in this day and age; the relationship between Nick and Sasha was so real--they had decisions to make, they made mistakes, and they had to learn and deal with those. By the end of the book I was hoping, against all hope, that Nick and Sasha would somehow work out their relationship and get back together, but I knew it couldn't happen. I loved that Kelly actually delt with teen pregnancy and *SPOILER*...abortion and the affects they can have on the teenagers themselves, it all felt so real in the book. Reading this book has made me look forward to reading more of Martin's work.
