The Best and The Hardest Thing by Pat Brisson




Imagine being a poet. A saintly, brilliant fifteen year old girl trying to change her reputation. Imagine being 15 and pregnant with a guy who's in jail. On top of all that having your one-legged, only best friend move away. That's exactly how it is for Molly Biden.




Molly didn't mean to get pregnant. She just wanted mysterious Gray Dillon to see her as something more than what others saw her as, a goody-goody, so she gets tighter clothing, darker makeup and her hair cut and styled. A good-girl gone bad, Molly struggles to be Grady's girl. But when she does, she gets pregnant. Then Grady gets arrested for illegal weaponry. Sadly, Molly is stuck with her grandma, with her crippled best friend somewhere else, dating someone, having a life unlike Molly's. In the mean time, Molly is trying to concentrate on Poetry Club, and school studies, and trying to ignore all the things the girls at school are calling her.



The book was entertaining. But to my suprise, it was written in poem form. That didn't ruin the book, though. I would reccomend this to people who don't want to get pregnant. I'd rate this 5/5. I chose this book because...well i was at Lift Bridge book store, and the cover looked intresting. But really, read this book.
