Summary: Recommendable for youths
Comment: The novel Dear Nobody" by Berlie Doherty deals with the problems of young people who are going to become parents.
The main characters, Helen and Chris are about 18 years old, love each other very much and are full of dreams when they have sex without contraception and Helen gets pregnant. This changes their lives completely. At first Helen doesn't talk about her pregnancy, but Chris knows something is wrong, they get more and more distant. After Helen has told her boyfriend and her mother about the child, she feels relieved, but they can't really help her and Helen still considers the baby to be an obstacle, a Nobody. But this changes after she has been to an abortion clinic, there she realizes for the first time that it's a human being growing inside her and she decides to keep the baby.
From then on Helen's relationship to her mother gets even worse than it already was and she decides to finish with Chris, she only thinks of the baby now...
I can recommend this book to every young person, because it deals with all the problems and sorrows, but also the joy of an unwanted pregnancy. I guess it shows in a realistic way how the young parents experience this time and it's nice and exciting to read. You can identify with both Helen and Chris and can't stop reading until you know how the story goes on.

Summary: A bitter sweet look into the world of a pregnant teenager
Comment: This book was stunningly beautiful. The plot is lovely and the characters are real. This book creats no pretty illusions. It reveals the frightening reality of being young and pregnant. Helen and Chris are young, foolish and in love. They are in no way ready for the results of unprotected sex. When Helen discovers she is pregnant, she is terrified. But soon, she is ready to deal with her pregnancy, and Chris is not. Chris stands by her, but she ends the relationship, feeling its for his own good. But Chris feels he has a right to play a part in his babys life. This story is magnificently told, and truthful. Unlike other stories of pregnant teenagers, this book precents the an honest veiw of Helen and Chris's situation. I would recommened this book to anyone, its so wonderful that everyone deserves to read it.

Summary: Dear Nobody
Comment: I just loved this book. It makes unaware teenagers of the real-life issues that we are always on the ledge about. We, as teenagers, think that just one time won't hurt. However, this book makes us realize that actions of two minutes, as is most of the case, can effect the rest of our life.
The other issues that are faced, such as Chris's mom, are very real. The author gets deep into the emotions of Chris and Helen. As another reader complained of Helen's whining, it sounded to me that helen is really just expressing her emotions with no one to turn to, I think that I would respond the same way.
I love it, it must get a five star, it's one of the best books I have ever read.
I think that all teenagers should read this book, in order to understand that the whole two to three minutes of pleasure, can put all of your life on the back burner.
