SuitabookThe Pregnancy Projet
Gaby Rodriguez
- Reading
- Consider reading together or checking in after sections about pregnancy and public attention. Let the young reader decide which reactions or assumptions they want to discuss, without asking them to disclose personal experiences.
- Themes
- Stereotypes and expectations: Rodriguez tests how people might react when they believe she is pregnant, against expectations tied to her family history and her own ambitions. The premise makes assumptions about teen pregnancy and future prospects a clear subject; the full memoir’s treatment of individual reactions is not established.
- Privacy and public attention: The project is kept from some people close to Rodriguez, then draws wide media attention and offers related to film, books and talk shows. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Teen pregnancy and family histories of teenage pregnancy are central to the premise.
