Books with title November

Two months after her boyfriend, Josh, dies in a hazing accident, high school senior November discovers she's pregnant. Having to tell her mother is hard enough, but Josh's parents' reaction is even more devastating: they hire a lawyer to try to take her baby away from her. Josh's cousin, Jericho, wants to help November however he can, but he's still dealing with his own sense of responsibility for Josh's death. The sequel to the Coretta Scott King Honor Book "The ""Battle of Jericho "pulls no punches as it explores--with Sharon M. Draper's trademark keen insight into how teenagers think, feel, and speak--the difficult decisions and harsh realities of teen pregnancy.

Gina Morosini almost has it all-the perfect job of her dreams and the perfect man of her dreams. All she needs now is the perfect place of her dreams. Moving out of the house she shares with her controlling mother isn't going to be a breeze, but she's prepared for the battle. Christian Russo, rough, rugged and sinfully sexy, has fallen for the type of girl he would never have noticed. Gina Morosini is sweet and decent and a far cry from the casual friends-with-benefits hookup he had before. But even though he's crazy about her, he's not so sure she feels the same. Maybe she's holding back because she can't say those three little words. She's never been one to show her emotions, and he understands. Living with that cold and manipulative mother of hers can't have been easy. But their romance is deepening, and it's only a matter of time before things fall into place. Once she moves in with him, everything will fall into place. Unless life throws them a curveball. Or two.
