In Meghan Daum's writing she catches the reader with many unique lines. Reading non-fiction has always been difficult for me, but when I picked this up I fell into it immediately. She pulled the reader in and keeps them there until the very end. Daum's line "We might as well be talking about putting a loaded gun to our heads every night and attempting to use our trigger finger to clean the wax from our ear." One would never guess she's talking about the white lies on safe sex. She reminds us in high school we are told to worry about getting pregnant. We all know someone who has, but that doesn't mean they can't make something with their life. Mom graduated high school with two kids on her hips. She wanted to prove those statistics wrong.
