Book #91 Read in 2017 The Pregnancy Project by Gaby Rodriguez This memoir tells of Gaby's senior project--where she faked a pregnancy--to discuss stereotypes and rumors. Gaby came from a family of teen moms and did not want to repeat that cycle but people automatically assumed she would. She decides to fake a whole pregnancy, revealing it to be false at her senior presentation. She takes note of how people treat her for both good and bad. This was an engaging read and I would recommend it to high school girls. I borrowed this book from the public library.
