Roxy's Baby by Cathy MacPhail

Date Finished: 30/3/2013
Rated: Five out of Five
Format: Paperback
Series: No
Owned: Yes

I love this book.  I had this book a few years ago and then through unforeseen circumstances I lost it. It was only the other day when I remembered about this book.

Roxys baby is about a 14 year old girl who gets herself pregnant and because she scared of what her family would say, she runs away to london where she meets a couple who tell her that they look after girls in her situation.  Little did she know that their kindness has evil consequences.

I like stories about teenage pregnancy so when I got this as a gift a few years back I was in awe of what I read. Based loosely on a true story, I was shocked on what I read but still read it over and over again.  I was gutted when I lost it and forgot all about it until the other day when I remembered it while buying another book.

While reading, I felt like I was the character and that I was living her life and pacing was perfect as you could follow her life as well as others. I was a bit disappointed about the lack of pregnancy details but I guess it was the questions asked that made the story. I give this five out of five
