The highly anticipated sequel to Positively Mine….
Picking up from the dramatic ending of Positively Mine, Yours and Mine continues the Freshman Forty series as we meet Laurel's baby's father, Danny Santoro, for the first time.
It’s been almost a year since he last saw her, that sultry morning she walked off the beach before dawn had even cracked the August sky. It seemed from her silence, she was out of his life forever.
But Laurel’s timing couldn’t be worse to tell him he’s a father. The last year hasn’t been easy. Danny’s own father was arrested for a DUI, his mother moved out, and Danny started sleeping with his brother’s old high school, drug-abusing girlfriend.
After Laurel shocks him with the news, she attempts to relinquish Danny of any parental responsibility leading to a heated custody battle. In an unorthodox arrangement, an eccentric judge orders Danny and Laurel to spend alternating nights with each other for the upcoming school year.
Told from Danny’s point of view, Yours and Mine explores the second chapter of a romance that never got off the ground, the challenges of young parenting, and the hope of rekindled love.

Yours And Mine, the highly anticipated sequel to Positively Mine by Christine Duval has released. I highly recommend reading Positively Mine first.Laurel hid her pregnancy from everyone during her freshman year of college until it got to a life or death situation. Now she has to face the realities of her life. She is a young mother trying to juggle her school schedule, her responsibilities to her child, and social life. She’s doing the best she can but she’s not quite emotionally mature enough to handle it all. She has a lot of growing up to do. The first thing she has to do is tell Danny about the baby.
Danny was shocked to learn he was a father but he’s willing to accept the responsibility that go along with fatherhood. He’s a few years older than Laurel and has been on his own for awhile. He works full time and is attending college. When Laurel falters on allowing him time with his daughter, he has to turn to the courts. The courts take their unique circumstances into account and create unique visitation schedules.
At first the schedule is working but it’s Danny who is making all the concessions. His relationship with Laurel is becoming closer but she is still a bit selfish. She only sees what she wants to see and wants to have a carefree college girl life when Danny has their child. After a while Danny just can’t handle her immaturity and once again returns to the courts to make his custodial rights more conducive to his life, school schedule, and work schedule. For the first time Laurel really has to face the realities of co parenting and compromising.
In the end Laurel will finally become a mature individual. Once she learns what is important, life will change for all three of them.
Christine Duval did a wonderful job capturing the maturity level a someone Laurel’s age. I have a daughter about the same age and a could see her being a lot like Laurel. At that age their life experience level is just beginning. They are just learning to be adults and make decisions for themselves. In most cases they are not completely independent of their families, financially or emotionally. It’s not that they are selfish, they are just self involved. They are in the learning process of making sound decisions for themselves. Sometimes they can’t see the bigger picture in the decision making process. Christine allowed Laurel to mature in a healthy, positive manner that was realistic. Like most kids, she turned out okay and found out what matters most in life.
Yours And Mine by Christine Duval was a realistic and emotional conclusion in the Freshman Forty series.

4.5 stars
This is a sort of fast paced unique story that tackles pregnancy when you're in college. Although this is the sequel to the book Positively Mine, you can read it as a standalone. The book includes a sort of introduction that mentions what happened in the past. This story is told from Danny's POV. Laurel and Danny had a one night stand and never heard from each other for a long time. Then one day, Laurel, together with a child, came to where Danny is working and told him that the child is his. She even brought papers for him to sign to relinquish him from all his parental rights. Because of what happened to Danny's family in the past, he wants to cherish and seriously take care of his daughter. Laurel sees otherwise so they tried to bring it to court. The judge decided a different kind of custody, different that includes each parent to comw with their daughter and spend time with each other.
At this time, Laurel has a non-serious boyfriend Mike. As she spends more time with Danny, they learn to grow, to be more mature, as their situation calls it. It also gave Danny a chance to prove to her that ahe is better off with him than with her on and off boyfriend, Mike. After a while, they tried to give it a chance. Overall, it is a very nice, eye-opener for young adults to the responsibilities of being a parent.
No spoilers. Not much to the plot, but a nice NA book. I liked Danny a lot more than Laurel, who was way too wishy-washy and really just annoyed me.
I have not read the first book, I will say that you should as this book picks up where that one left off. But that aside, I liked getting into this story. This is a new author for me and I found her writing to be very enveloping. Like it just wrapped me up and made me stay until I was finished. I am all about the heart wrenching stories. I definitely recommend reading the first book, which I plan on doing, like, yesterday. It's on my TBR and I am determined to read it to give me a chance to read this book again, possibly in a new light.
I don't normally read young adult novels because I tend to be annoyed by the characters typically depicted in this genre. NOT THIS ONE. I'm sure the fact that the book is told from Danny's perspective had an enormous influence in my enjoyment of Yours and Mine. I'm a sucker for male POV, both as a reader and a writer. And his does not disappoint.
Christine Duval did a great job fleshing out the characters and developing interesting settings and interactions, which are realistic and believable. I'm too old to control my eye-rolling at some situations, but that just proves my point that the book is well-written and in touch with reality. I'd never knock off stars in a review for disagreeing with the characters or plot, as long as they are well-rounded, if you know what I mean.
I don't do write spoilers because I don't appreciate reading them, but I can safely say that I was able to follow the story without having read the first book. I'm sure I'd have a different opinion about Laurel's character if I had read her side of the story in the first installment. However, not reading it didn't prevent me from understanding the plot in the second book. Again, in my opinion, this is evidence of the author's ability to tell a story.
If you are a fan of YA, Yours and Mine is a must-read. If you're not, Yours and Mine is a must-read because you couldn't ask for a better way to start.
