Deal With It
Deal With It delves into the issue of teen pregnancy. Indigo’s friend, Tameka, who’s sixteen and college-bound, discovers that one intimate night with her boyfriend has changed her life forever. Tameka’s boyfriend, Vance, who also has a voice in the book, is a high school senior with a bright future as well. The issue of teen pregnancy forces them to not only make some tough choices, but to step up to the plate even though they both are way too young to be anybody’s parent. Also in the book, Indigo Summer is jealous when her best friend Jade becomes captain of the dance team and for the first time they are at odds with each other. Between ignoring each other at school and engaging in a physical altercation in the middle of Macy’s department store, they take anger to a whole other level. In the end, they both learn a valuable lesson about friendship.
Deal With It is a book about taking responsibility for your actions, and dealing with the consequences.
