Reader reviewed by Bookluver-Carol

FACT OF LIFE #48: Kats mom is No-Last-Name Abra, the best home-birth midwife in Colorado. But with her own daughter, Abra cant stop teaching and lecturing long enough to be a mom.

Fact of Life #21: Kats had a crush on Manny Cruz since seventh grade. Now Manny is showing interest , but could he seriously be into Weird Yoga Girl Kat Flynn?

Fact of Life #14: Gorgeous Libby Giles has always intimidated Kat. But lately theres something different about Libby, and its about to bring her crashing into Kats Life. . . .

Kat is a girl who's centered and knows what she's going to do. She trains for her decathlon and works at her mom's midwifery. She's also not afraid to do yoga in the school hallway. Basically Kat doesn't care about what others think of her.She was easy to relate to and had a great sense of humor.This was a fun read about a girl who's exploring herself while trying to deal with normal adolescent problems. Her relationship with her mother, Abra, is strained but she does eventually speak up and tells her mother how she feels.There was some romance in the book, and I liked the little facts that were included in the chapters.I also liked how the book was divided into four parts and each part had something do with birth that was also related to the part you were reading. So if you're looking for a fun read look no further.

Katima Flynn, better known as Kat, works for her mother at Abras Midwifery. But even though shes more than competent around the office, she screws up at her first baby delivery. Kat is so embarrassed that she quits the job that she loves at the Midwifery and instead focuses her attention on pretraining for the triathlon she plans to compete in. Her role in new mothers lives has been reduced to occasionally sketching their childrens births. Kat feels extremely out of place. Add in a little boy drama, family issues, and unexpected new friends, and Kat is now on a life-changing journey.

Fact of Life #31 was a cute and amusing novel. I really enjoyed reading from Kats perspective. Shes a funny girl who speaks her mind and usually knows what she wants. What I liked most about her, though, was that she knows she doesnt fit in at school and is mostly okay with it. Kat is a very realistic character. She is aware of her low social statues but cant help pining over a popular guy. I loved how pretty much all the characters that interacted with Kat had a positive influence on her. The plot is never too exciting, but since the characters are so wonderfully developed, I most definitely recommend this novel.

Readers looking for an amusing yet meaningful story should definitely check out Kats story in Fact of Life #31.
