Me, Him, Them, and It

Teen pregnancy isn't just what it looks like on "16 and Pregnant;" it can be heartbreaking and emotional, and utterly gripping—as in this debut novel.

When Evelyn decided to piss off her parents with a bad reputation, she wasn't planning to ruin her valedictorian status. She also wasn't planning to fall for Todd-the guy she was just using for sex. And she definitely wasn't planning on getting pregnant. When Todd turns his back on her, Evelyn's not sure where to go. Can a distant mother, a cheating father, an angry best friend, and a (thankfully) loving aunt with adopted daughters of her own help Evelyn make the heart-wrenching decisions that follow?

With the popularity of Juno, Teen Mom, and The Secret Life of the American Teenager, this novel has a built-in audience. Gripping, heartfelt, and responsible, Me, Him, Them, and It is not to be missed!

“Evie, the heroine of ME, HIM, THEM, AND IT, is the wisest, funniest, most conflicted narrator since Juno.”—National Book Award Finalist and bestselling author Patricia McCormick

“Caela Carter paints a raw and unflinching picture of the truth about teen pregnancy—a truth every teen should know. Evelyn’s story of strength and courage is as real— and as moving— as little Bean. Readers looking for a bold and gripping addition to their bookshelf will not be disappointed—and will not be able to put this book down!”— Jennifer Brown, author of The Hate List
