A través de les cinc històries que conformen aquest audiollibre, Jordi Sierra i Fabra es fa ressò una vegada més de la tan necessària crítica social i toc d'atenció als temes que més preocupen la nostra societat actual.

But on the very night she learns she got into the program, she also finds out she's pregnant. She definitely can't tell her parents.
