What You Left Behind by Jessica Vardi
Genre: YA Contemporary
Release Date: August 4th 2015
I was scrolling through Goodreads looking for some new/not really known books to read and I came across this one. I haven't read it yet, so I'm not too sure what it's about (it was the cover that drew me in to be honest) but it's basically about a teenage boy who gets his girlfriend pregnant, incidentally she is also diagnosed with cancer, she decides to sacrifice her life in order to save the baby by refusing treatment. The story takes place I think after she dies and the father has to look after the baby. Usually I'm not into 'death' books because they're very depressing for me, but this sounds really interesting. Because, you always hear about maternal instincts, and being a mum, but it's very rare to really hear the emotional side of being a dad particularly in book form. Especially a teenage boy, also the fact that he has to cope with his girlfriend's death is something I'm very much looking forward to reading and exploring in August
