Review
Naturally funny and candid style of writing keeps the reader engaged as she comes into her own as a parent. She is honest and humorous as she admits the mistakes she made, but also confident in her role as a mother, first and above all
--women24.com
With wit and humility, Engelbrecht shares her mistakes and triumphs, regrets and pleasures. She doesn't presume to be an agony aunt or a psychologist - just another girl, not so different from everyone else. --Cape Times, South Africa
It's not a cautionary tale of a Good Girl Gone Bad or even of a Bad Girl Made Good... It's just a little story of changes and adjustment, of love and destiny". This is a refreshing look at motherhood free from the usual cheese and cliché.
Product Description
A sharp, occasionally shocking, memoir that will change how you look at teenage mothers, The Girl Who Couldn’t Say No is told with frank South African humour and refreshingly mature insight. Tracy Engelbrecht tells the story of how she came to find herself pregnant at 15, and how she coped with pregnancy, birth and homework.
An eye-opener for teens and their parents alike, as well as a message of hope, empathy and respect for those who have experienced a teenage pregnancy.
No M-TV teen moms, no sugar-coating, no horror stories - just honesty, humility, humour and love. Real life.

I've been wanting to read this book for quite a while and I was not disappointed. I bought it late on Sunday afternoon and thought I would read a few pages every night. I took a sneak peek at the first two pages. I finished the book on Monday afternoon. I was hooked!! Tracy's honesty and humour makes this a fabulous read. Easy and keeps you hooked. Tracy's writing style is fabulously refreshing.
Her story is captivating and honest. It is her story and she tells it well. It gave me insight to her as well as other young moms. I know this is her story only but I am sure that there are other young moms out there that experience much of the same. This gives me, the average reader, so much insight and a new found respect for every young mother, whatever their journey.
I would highly recommend this book. It's a good story. It is very well written. It is thought provoking. It is fabulous!

Tracey does a great job describing motherhood. And, she's right, many of the feelings she describes are the same whether you're 15 or 40. The exhileration, the exhaustion, and the pure love that's beyond anything you can imagine. Also love the description of preschool teachers vs office workers. As a teacher turned office worker, she got it spot on. Enjoy the book!
