Dancing Naked is about a girl called Kia who is in grade eleven, who gets pregnant. The book is a collection of her journal entries, explaining the difficult decisions she had to make. At first the journal entries are about the decision of what to do with the baby. As well as the pressure she receives from her boyfriend and her parents to have an abortion. After she decides to keep her baby, the journal entries move on to the hardship she has with everyone judging her, and also with the abuse and pressure from her ex-boyfriend.
This book reminds me of the Movie Juno. Just like Kia, Juno becomes pregnant, at first she wants to have an abortion but then she realizes that she doesn't

Out of the entire movie this Particular Scene really reminds me off a part of the book. In allot of ways Juno and Kia had the same experience with not wanting to go through with the abortion.
