7 “If the world were really right, humans would live life backward and do the first part last. They'd be all knowing in the beginning and innocent in the end...” ― [|Angela Johnson] , // [|The First Part Last] //

“You don't have to know everything in the world. We aren't supposed to. It makes you boring in mixed company if you can't be interested and ask questions of other people.”

11. I would recommend this book to any teen mothers or teen fathers that are struggling. It teaches you that when you make a mistake most of the time there is going to be consequences.  It showed what it would be like to have all your life pretty much taken away because of a baby.
