Nicole "Nikki" Johnson has never gotten along with her mother, so when she meets a great new guy, it's no surprise that Matt's age is all her mom sees. Just because he's twenty-three and she's sixteen doesn't mean he's a creeper! Thankfully, Nikki's dad allows Nikki and Matt to be together and see how things work out. Their relationship is fantastic and Nikki is on cloud nine... Until the Fourth of July picnic, when things go too far. Now a very changed Nikki has to make choices that will affect her every relationship - with Matt, her parents, her best friend, and most importantly, God.

I'm so excited for Sixteen to come out in book form! :D I'll definitely buy it. Currently it's only on E-Readers.The love story is believable, even though starts quickly. Nikki does not care one little bit if Matt's several years older than her. I mean, it's not like he's 60. He's 24.
I'm impresses how clean Sixteen is, considering it deals with teen pregnancy. If one of the middle schoolers I know wanted to read this, it would be totally appropriate. Sixteen shows that teen pregnancy is wrong, but after Nikki's pregnant, what can she do? The way she and her friend, Christy, handle the situation is very well done.
I wish the characters were more relatable to people other than teen moms. I would have loved to see more of Nikki's and Matt's characters.
Also, I remember three of my mom's pregnancies, and I'm pretty sure a pregnant woman can eat the same things she always has (expect alcohol). Sixteen often mentions that Nikki has to be careful about what she eats, but considering she's only sixteen, she should't have to worry about dietary things while pregnant.
Favorite quote? Christy says, "In the end, after all the evidence from Christians and all the doubts from others, you just have to decide if you believe God or not." Christy's got it right.
I don't know when Sixteen comes into print, but I sure can't wait until it does. :)

Sixteen Emily Rachelle 9780615942773 Books Reviews
Teenager Claire Monroe is anxious to graduate, leave home and be free of what she sees as restrictive parents. Her mom, Nicole, doesn’t want Claire making the same mistakes she made …
It’s 1995, and Nikki Johnson is sixteen, working part-time as a ballet instructor. She meets Mark, the 23-year-old uncle of one of her pupils, and a friendship develops that gradually changes into something more …
The story moves back and forth between the present (2014, with Nicole telling her story to her daughter) and the past (1995, Nikki’s story). As I was reading, I was thinking, “This isn’t going to end well”. I’m not going to tell you how it did end (obviously), but it was a satisfying combination of expected and unpredictable.
Sixteen is a very good fiction debut. The writing is strong, the characters realistic and the situation all too believable. What is especially good is the way the author has got into the mind of Nicole, showing that teenagers haven’t changed (and their parents really do understand them).
Overall, this was a well-written story, with the main issue that it was a bit on the short side. I would have liked to have seen more of Mark, to understand his thought processes, and I thought there could have been more emphasis on Nikki’s motivation and reactions, especially with the dress scene (I don’t want to say more, for fear I’ll give away the story, but you’ll know what I mean if you read it).
Sixteen is written by a teenager, and while it’s aimed at teens, older readers will still enjoy it. This is an excellent first novel, and I’ll look forward to seeing what Emily Rachelle can produce next.
Thanks to the author for providing a free ebook for review.
I love this book!!! I thought the story line was set up good and the character that portrayed in this book was well developed.
what can I say, she's my granddaughter .... of course i'm going to love it .....
I really really enjoyed this novella. I wished it was a tad longer just to give us more insight and such on some scenes but besides that I loved it so much! Really well done and a great story!
I really loved this book. The way the author used used flashbacks made the story all the more touching. Even though it's short, the emotions were strong. I cried for Nikki when she was saved and when Matt was crying at the wedding. On top of that there are multiple instances where I was awed by beautiful imagery! Overall this is a great first publishment for a breakout author.
Fantastic job Emily!

I am a skeptic of Christian fiction. I say this not to detriment Sixteen, but to illustrate where I am coming from--it is not a genre I generally enjoy, appreciate, or trust farther than I can throw. Despite that, I found Sixteen a pleasant, short read that provides an interesting perspective on romance and teen pregnancy.
The story is carried not only by the events that take place, Nikki's whirlwind romance and ensuing pregnancy, but also the distinct emotional themes that rise and fall which each new incident. I had severe reservations about Matt, Nikki's love interest, but not even my good sense could keep me from enjoying her pleasure--which made her subsequent panic all the rougher. That's a good thing.
The novella format is also perfect for most of us; the story engages the mind without taking up too much time. All the same, this format also results in some drawbacks--secondary characters don't receive as much attention and there's little in the way of subplot. However, that may be just the kind of relaxation a teen reader needs after spending a hard day at school or work, so I don't consider that an unforgiveable sin.
Of course, no silver lining comes without a cloud, which for me came in the form of the sermon, just over halfway through the book. And it is only a reflection of what peeves me; there's a good chance it would inspire or even ignite other readers. It's nice that Nikki accepts Christ, of course, but the absence of sacrifice left me a little bored. A little skeptical. A little unimpressed. Again, that's just how I feel in general.
It had a cute ending, though I wouldn't consider it the paragon of teen pregnancy situations. I, for one, am not a shotgun wedding kind of gal. And yet, they have a happy ending, and that little "accident" grew up to become a living, breathing person ready to dive into her own life. That is, perhaps, the best part.
Younger teen girls would definitely enjoy the book, and there are even questions in the back to incite discussion if an entire group is interested in reading. It was worth the cost, and I will be curious to see what else Ms. Rachelle develops in the future.
