Setting: The south in the 1960’s

July is just like every other senior in high school. She is excited for the future brings and is living in the moment. She has a boy that isn’t exactly her boyfriend but might as well be because of the amount of time they spend together. July and Bo Jo go to prom together and afterward end up going to the beach together afterward where they do what a lot of teenagers do these days. July is mortified afterward. She is disappointed in the “mistake” she made. She had prided herself on the fact that she was waiting till she was married to do any of those types of activities. As it turns out Bo Jo feels just as bad about the whole thing. But things get worse. July is pregnant. They make the decision to go across the state line and get married. The story goes from there. July and Bo Jo have to make decisions about school, where to live, the baby and so much more. The story ends in a totally different way than I thought. I did enjoy the book a lot. It was a good read and I found myself not wanting to put it done which is good because it isn’t broken up into chapters.
