The name of the book was The First Part Last by Angela Johnson. She is a two-time Coretta Scott King Award winner.
This story is about a 16 year old boy named Bobby and how he decides to be a parent to his daughter, Feather. All Bobby wants to do is live life the way he planned it. His best friends are K-Boy and J.L. who live life without worries.Unfortunately for Bobby, his girlfriend, Nia shows up at his stoop with a balloon and tells him she’s pregnant. Bobby’s world is forever changed. his book was broken down into “then” and “now.” “then” describe the pregnancy of Nia and “now” refers to the struggles of Bobby raising his daughter.
Most of the action of this book takes place in apartment complex. The one thing that I did not like was the book was broken down into “then” and “now” I felt a little confused. I have never read a book from the from this author, Angela Johnson, but I would like to read more of her books.
Books, Books and More Books! 
Audryaunna,
I am really looking forward to reading this book. After reading your blog sharing your opinions about the book, I feel that I need to read it right now.
This is what our Teen’s need to be reading!
Thank you for the compliment! I loved this book, if you like this book, you may also enjoy Hanging onto Max. It runs on the same line as The First Part Last, but has a crazy twist.
I really like the suspense that’s built through the “then” and “now” chapters. You know something has happened, but you don’t know what.
Elisabeth thank you for your reply. Your right it did build up suspense. I just thought that it cause a bit of confusion. I did enjoy the book though. It is a good book to have on our mandatory reading list.
