I forget if I ever said, but I actually looked at it. The writing is bloody awful, but there IS an explanation for the incest and resulting pregnancy: two adolescents who were never taught what sex is hanging out and discovering things that felt good together and only finding out the consequences when it was too late. It's actually pretty plausible. Research shows that comprehensive sex education correlates negatively with teen pregnancy. If you don't really understand what you're doing, what's to stop you from doing it?

That doesn't make the story good, but it does serve to show yet again that subject matter cannot be the sole determiner of quality, whether you like the subject matter or not.

P.S. Since the writing mechanics and style choices (if you can call them that) are the worst things about it, maybe it's a case for the DTE! It would be nice to see them again. {= D
