About this book

Bobby's a classic urban teenager. He's restless. He's impulsive. But the thing that makes him different is this: He's going to be a father. His girlfriend, Nia, is pregnant, and their lives are about to change forever. Instead of spending time with friends, they'll be spending time with doctors, and next, diapers. They have options: keeping the baby, adoption. They want to do the right thing. If only it was clear what the right thing was.

Censorship history

The First Part Last was banned or restricted in United States in 2024 for its treatment of race and racial language, as well as immorality. This case illustrates the paradox of censoring literature that critiques racism for the very language it uses to document it.
