All the Difference

All the Difference

Molly recently found out she was unexpectedly pregnant, very soon after her boyfriend proposes to her.  This is before she has even told him about the baby.  She has a decision to make.  Does she want to marry him?  After that the chapters rotate between what happens if she says yes and what happens if she says no.  

If she says no, she is going to be a single mom.  And it's hard, she has to figure out how she is going to work and make money to pay the bills while worrying about daycare and who is going to watch the baby while she is at work.  On this side of the story you see her family and friends rally around her, support her, and help her get back on her feet.

If she says yes, she will be married.  She won't have to worry about money as he makes decent money at his job and his family comes from money.  However, he's not the best guy.  He drinks, he's bossy, his family has money but it comes with strings.  Does she really want to basically be pushed around?  She loves her job and it goes from her working, making her own money, to him suggesting she be a stay at home mom, which for her she doesn't want to do.  

It was a nice story, even though between the two choices it was pretty clear which was the right one.  Spoiler: he's a loser and I don't know why she was ever with him.
