Description Toward Books What You Left Behind
It’s all Ryden’s fault. If he hadn’t gotten Meg pregnant, she would have never stopped her chemo treatments and would still be alive. Instead, he’s failing fatherhood one dirty diaper at a time. And it’s not like he’s had time to grieve while struggling to care for their infant daughter, start his senior year, and earn the soccer scholarship he needs to go to college. The one person who makes Ryden feel like his old self is Joni. She’s fun and energetic—and doesn’t know he has a baby. But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to keep his two worlds separate. Finding one of Meg’s journals only stirs up old emotions, and Ryden’s convinced Meg left other notebooks for him to find, some message to help his new life make sense. But how is he going to have a future if he can’t let go of the past?Define Out Of Books What You Left Behind

What You Left Behind is an excellent example of a well-written and very realistic young adult book in a guy's perspective. I definitely want to read more books like this.This book revolves around Ryden. Six months ago his girlfriend, Meg, died giving birth to their daughter, Hope, because she refused another round of chemo therapy.So obviously this book deals with some tough subjects. Usually I'm kinda on the fence about these type of books but I really liked this one. Most books featuring teen
I went into What You Left Behind with huge expectations. I know I shouldn't have done that, but come on! The main character is a single dad, which is something that I've been waiting for, and I'm guessing a lot of other people have been as well. The book started out with what I felt was an unnatural and tense tone, but got better a while later. I'm not sure if it really became better or I just got used to that tone, but it flowed more and more smoothly as the story went on. I was a bit
7/11/14: I said earlier this year that there were no books about a guy that had to raise a child on his own and lo and behold Verdi was already in the process of writing one!

(Source: I received a digital copy of this book for free on a read-to-review basis. Thanks to SOURCEBOOKS Fire and NetGalley.) Well, guess what you left behind, Meg? Nothing but misery and pain and regret. This was a good YA contemporary story about cancer, and being a teen parent, which also had an interesting mystery aspect.I felt quite sorry for Ryden in this story, hed lost so much, and was pretty shell-shocked at the way he had become a single teen parent, and the changes to his life that
2.5 starsMan, it kills me that I didn't love this book. :( I adore Jessica and her other books, so this literally breaks my heart!The biggest thing that kills it for me is what we find out at the end...(view spoiler)[At the end, we find out that Meg got pregnant on purpose.WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK???She wrote in her journal admitting this, and spouted a bunch of bull shit about wanting to leave behind a legacy.LEGACY MY ASS! Heres the ugly truth of what went down:* She got intimate with a man. He
