Biology Lessons

Praise for Biology Lessons:

★”A moving story … a nuanced take on teen pregnancy, one that could be rightly read as an update to the familiar YA problem novel. The book manages to highlight the personal without excluding the political and favors truthful pain over tragic histrionics, ultimately allowing a big, bright, and complicated future for its main character… This is a book that Judy Blume would approve of, where a girl is allowed to imagine a future where her abortion isn’t the most important moment of her life.” –BCCB, starred review

★ “Through Grace’s eyes, the reader is introduced to a Texas rarely seen in popular media: a diverse, beautiful tapestry of people, many of whom are capable of a tremendous amount of empathy … This unfiltered glance at the realities of a post-Roe era strikes the perfect balance between storytelling and sharing information, all without casting judgment.” –Booklist, starred review

“Powerful and emotionally charged … Kantor’s writing is heartfelt and compelling, capturing the emotional turmoil of Grace’s predicament with sensitivity and depth. The relationships between the characters—especially the unbreakable bond of friendship among Grace, Addie, and -Sebastian–are beautifully portrayed … An essential and poignant novel that will resonate deeply with older teens navigating the complex world of -relationships, identity, and social justice.” –School Library Journal

“Makes for a compelling read that frankly acknowledges how and why a person might choose abortion … A quick, readable, and relevant novel.” –Kirkus

Melissa Kantor lives in New York City, where she has always wanted to live.
