Megan 2 follows on pretty much from the point where the first book ended. Megan having newly given birth to her baby boy and it follows her as she adjusts to life being a teenage mum. I think it was fairly obvious even in the first book that Megan would not give up her baby for adoption so when I realised there was a sequel it was pretty much confirmed for me even without reading the back of the book.
I think the turnaround in attitude from Megan’s mum is a little bit hard to take. In the first book she is so for adoption and so harsh towards Megan that her pretty much being fine when Megan tells her she is keeping the baby doesn’t feel completely believable although I guess seeing the baby would bring forth emotions that she had probably been suppressing.
I also think from the mention of Lorna’s secret in book 1 that it was fairly obvious that somehow Megan was going to find her baby. Regardless of it being so obvious that it was going to happen the ending did seem to be very abrupt and rang a little untrue. I don’t think anyone would give news like that in that way.
I think it is the little things though that really adds to the realism of this book. Like how Megan feels in relation to her friends Claire and Josie and the ways in which her life differs to theirs. The feelings and emotions are once again spot on and what really makes the Megan series of books special. Mary Hooper really does know how to get in to the mind of a teenager.
