It Happen to Nancy

It Happen to Nancy, by Anonymous Teenager, was published in 1994 by Beatrice M. Sparks.
The book that I decided to read was about a 14 years old girl named Nancy. Nancy was so excited because she was going to go out with her friends to a concert that she really wanted to go. While she was in the concert she had an asthma attack and in that moment she met a guy named Collin Eagle. They started talking and soon they were both falling in love. Who new that all that was about to change when Nancy invited Collin over to her house, while her mother was out working. Things were cool until Collin decided to rape Nancy. After that Nancy was confused and lost she didn't know what she was going to do. As time went on Nancy found out that Collin lied to her about everything that he told her about him.Nancy moved on from what happen to her. She met Lew a childhood friend and they both fell in love. As time continued to go on Nancy was feeling more and more tired until one day Nancy's mother took her to the doctors and that is when they gave her blood tests.Nancy's results came in and they doctor broke the news to them, Nancy had HIV virus. When Collin raped her he infected her with the virus. She became weaker and weaker until she died. When i read this story it made me realize that it is hard to be in a situation like this. Even though this was a sad book i enjoyed reading it because it made me put myself in their shoes. i am happy i read this book because it made me think a lot about life. How things can happen when you just met someone not knowing who they are or where they come from. I would definately recomend this book to a lot of people because it has to do with real young girls.
