I Know It's Over

An Usual Twist

I Know It's Over: Sasha changed Nick's summer plans and before long she changed his life. He wasn't the same guy: flirting with girls and playing hockey with his best friends. Nick started wanting more. He wanted more of his girlfriend, but he was content to let her choose the course of their relationship. They had their ups and downs and then it ended. Nick was heartbroken. A few weeks later, Sasha stops by his house to drop the bomb. She's pregnant. Now Nick doesn't know what to do. She doesn't seem to want him around. He can't tell his mother. He can't seem to do anything, but think about Sasha and how desperately he wants her back. But he knows nothing will ever be the same again....

This book shocked me - because I judged the book by it's cover. I'd heard good things about this book from blogs and also from someone in the library. So I checked out. I wasn't expecting the story to be from Nick's perspective. I think it worked mainly because it was unique. There are other tales of teen pregnancy, but most are from the girl's point of view or reflect negatively against the male in the story. Here, the situation was reversed. Neither partner came out looking good, but each made a significant impact.

Nick plans on having a long, carefree summer with no distractions and no problems. What with his parents' divorce and his father's new girlfriend, Nick needs all the downtime he can get. Even the girl he's seeing (Dani) is starting to get to him. The girl is up for anything, but for some reason Nick just doesn't seem that in to it anymore.

But Nick's summer plans of carefree go out the window when Sasha shows up. She's been going to school with him for as long as he can remember. They've just never really talked to each other. One day they do, and suddenly something starts. Sasha is totally different than Dani and isn't about to do anything sexual quite so fast. But Nick and Sasha start getting hot and heavy by the time fall rolls around. And then Sasha breaks it off, saying that she wants to be able to concentrate on school and getting into the best college. Nick is crushed, but there's not much he can do.

Then, on Christmas Eve, Sasha shows up out of nowhere and tells Nick that she's pregnant. Sure, they were always careful and used protection, but one time something happened. Neither one of them thought much about it at the time, but now they're over-analyzing the night. Sasha is hesitant about her decision regarding the baby. After she tells her parents, she decides on an abortion, and doesn't really let Nick have much say. Nick, being so mixed up about the whole situation, really wishes Sasha would talk to him more and let him be involved. But the truth is that they could never really have a relationship again, even with the baby.

With the help of his gay best friend (Nathan) and his other best friend (Keelor), Nick manages to make it through this whole fiasco. But will he ever have another chance with Sasha? And what will Sasha's final choice about the baby be?

First off, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone under the age of seventeen due to the sexual scenes and the topic of pregnancy and all. That said, though, this was such a great read. I loved how it was told from the guy's point of view, which we hardly ever get to see. I felt so bad for Nick from the very beginning. Of course, my heart went out to Sasha, as well.

C.K. Kelly Martin is such a strong writer and this was an amazing book. Her words just jumped off the page to me. I loved Nick's attitude and actions, along with Sasha's. And Nick's younger 14-going-on-30 sister was great. Basically, I loved everything about this book except for the ending. It was okay; I just kind of wanted it to end differently!

But anyway, definitely pick up a copy of this book when it's released. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. And I really hope the author writes another book soon!

good read hard start

This book was abit difficult to get into at the beginning. However you have to be patient the story soon unfolds. I began to like the personalities of the characters.Overall it's a good book. My advice is to be open-minded and dont assume it's a boring book just based off of the first few chapters. Its a good book.

Great!

It's not the ending you would expect from a love story, but it's a great love story none the less!

Good story bad ending

This book was a very good read. I liked how the characters changed throughout the book.my favorite characxter was nick's sister holland. Even though this book was good the ending was terrible and inconclusive. But thats just my opinion so be my guest and read it if you want.

Good Book, Not for readers who are into typical love stories.

THIS BOOK IS AWESOMEEE ! It isnt your typical love story; Like, boy meets girl, Boy & Girl fall in love. Boy & girl go through some sort of problem and get back together. If dhats ALL you like reading about then this isnt your type of story. This is sorta a love story but in this case your reading about the life of a pregnant teenage girl and her EX-boyfriend.
