A bittersweet romance that takes a new look at teen pregnancy  the magic and mess of first
relationships  and a young woman's right to choose her own future.   Beneath the New Year's Eve
fireworks  shy science-nerd Mel and slacker songwriter Sid get pregnant on their first date.
Any sixteen-year-olds would expect trouble - but this is Northern Ireland 2018  where abortion
is still illegal. Mel's religious parents insist she must keep the baby  whilst Sid's feminist
mum pushes for a termination.  Mel and Sid are determined to do this together  but they soon
discover that pregnancy is totally different for boys and girls. When their relationship starts
to fall apart under all the pressure  Mel finds herself feeling alone with the impossible
dilemma of the Little Bang growing inside her.   "Deeply true. A book to press into the hands
of others" - Deirdre Sullivan
