Critics Review
Four starred reviews • SLJ Best Book of the Year • Kirkus Best Book of the Year • Bank Street Best Book of the Year • YALSA Top Ten Title★ “Brilliant and multilayered; an absolute must-read.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review★ “Caletti offers a matter-of-fact exploration of abortion and its use cases, interweaving myriad perspectives on pregnancy and body agency with a deft and nonjudgmental approach.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review★ “Plan A nails several elements, from the true-to-life and engaging voice to the tight handle on the nuance in the people who hold contrasting opinions and even the seemingly contradictory but simultaneously simple and complex issues of all varieties involved in abortion rights….Characters throughout are dynamically painted with detail, as well as Ivy’s sharp observations.”—Booklist, starred review★ “An accessible, powerful portrayal of the importance of choice. A must-read.” —School Library Journal, starred review“Caletti approaches a provocative subject with humanity, nuance, and compassion; here, Ivy’s story is deeply personal but also contextualized within women’s stories throughout history.”—The Horn Book Review
