An exciting new YA voice!Pure. Unplanned. Perfect. Those were Nick’s summer plans before Sasha stepped into the picture. With the collateral damage from his parents’ divorce still settling and Dani (his girl of the moment) up for nearly anything, complications are the last thing he needs. All that changes, though, when Nick runs into Sasha at the beach in July. Suddenly he’s neck-deep in a relationship and surprised to find he doesn’t mind in the least. But Nick’s world shifts again when Sasha breaks up with him. Then weeks later, while Nick’s still reeling from the breakup, she turns up at his doorstep and tells him she’s pregnant, and Nick finds himself struggling once more to understand the girl he can’t stop caring for, the girl who insists that it’s still over.★ “Authentic and sophisticated.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred★ “Debut novelist Martin displays uncanny insight.”—Publishers Weekly, Starred“Sensors be damned; this novel should be read by every teen in North America, and every parent.”—Catherine Gilbert Murdock, author of Dairy Queen

3.5/5Here we have a kid who’s just a kid and doesn’t know what he’s supposed to do when faced with a big thing. The good thing: he doesn’t pretend otherwise. Whatever it is he does happen to feel, he does…no false bravado on his part. You’d think him whiny self centered kid, who’s got too much of ev...
Being a teenager is hard, AND what a bundle of tragic relationships. "I Know It's Over" deals with teen pregnancy from the boys perspective and does it DAMN well. The quality of the writing, the structure and the voice, truelly make it hard to believe that this is Martin's debut novel. and Nick; I j...

Not only the emotionally toll of the relationship but also the psychical toll as well. Nick does his best when it comes to supporting his ex-girlfriends and I admire...
