Emory Watson is not having a good run at life. She is 18 years old, 4 weeks pregnant, recently dumped and homeless. There seems to be nothing going her way. She needs to find a job and a place to live right away. She gets a job at an assembly line and it is less than ideal. She give is a go.. because what other choice does she have. The job has some positives, quirky co workers, a place to call home and a wacky, ruthless boss. One day the factory goes on lock down and Emory must get it together. She must try to find a way to protect her co-workers, she must dig deep and get some courage to help the people that have become like family. Six Weeks of Summer is a reminder that troubles downs last forever and people can really do great things, when they put there mind to it. Six weeks can really be enough time to set things right. I want to thank Netgalley and N. West for my copy of Six Weeks of Summer for an honest review. It was my pleasure to read and review this book. It was a four star read for me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
This was a rather interesting book about the teenage pregnancy and all of the accompanying problems. A somewhat idealistic approach, without being overly burdened with questions about how realistic and applicable all of this would be in a real life. The book was actually an easy read, all the way to the scenes in the factory, which suddenly introduce some "action movie" style into the story, which, in my opinion did not make any sense to the rest of the book.
This is an interesting story about young motherhood and unplanned pregnancy and it kept me interested throughout!
Thank you to NetGalley and Dynamite Books Publishing for an e-ARC of this novel in exchange for my honest review.
This book was a good read! It was so sad in some parts and you couldn't help but feel for Emory. But the book provided all the feels along with the characters and I really enjoyed it
Thank you Netgalley and N. West for this captivating ARC
3.5 / 5 stars
Six Weeks of Summer by N. West was a beautiful story. I loved the characters and the setting. Thank you netgallery for the ARC copy!
This book follows the journey of Emory as she navigates the newly discovered lifestyle of teenage pregnancy. I truly felt for the main protagonist, with very realistic themes intriguingly explored.
One of the highlights of this read is the characters and their dynamic in navigating the story's environment. The way it unfolds is something that I find prevalent to young adults, the ideas of family, choices, and self-confidence in a changing world.
The romance was not the highlight of the story; however, it added a nice touch that developed along in a way I would call decadent.
It was an excellent read that explored themes that I wish were more prevalent in media without vilifying them.
Six Weeks of Summer follows Emory, who is eighteen years old, fresh out of high school and finding herself pregnant. Her boyfriend of two months has decided to leave her when hearing the news. Her mother abandons her, and Emory has to decide whether she wants to keep her child or get an abortion. Emory finds family in unlikely new friends, faces a Russian threat at work and must find herself, all while trying to figure out her future.
This book was intriguing. I felt for Emory. I don't understand how her mother wouldn't be there to support her. I was glad that Emory had surrounded herself with her own little family. The story wrapped up nicely. The Russian mafia ties were a bit out there.
