This book is about a girl and a boy named Rory and Kale. Rory and Kale
are always bickering and absolutely hate each other. One day when their
bickering goes too far their principal decides to punish them with a baby
project for their health class thats a month long, it requires taking care of
a fake baby. While taking care of the baby it makes Rory and Kale hate
each other even more. A passage that interest me is when Rorys ex-
boyfriend Liam who used to abuse her, shows up unexpectedly at the
parking lot when a basketball game was over. Rory ends up finding out
that Liam works as a human trafficker and so does Kale but he always tries
to help the girls escape. This passage interests me because it was so
shocking because Rory used to have panic attacks when she thought about
Liam. I would recommend this to anyone because it has so much
surprising parts and it has some comedy in it.
