Bumped (Bumped, #1)

by Megan McCafferty

In 2036 New Jersey, when teens are expected to become fanatically religious wives and mothers or high-priced Surrogettes for couples made infertile by a widespread virus, sixteen-year-old identical twins Melody and Harmony find in one another the courage to believe they have choices.

I went into this book a little hesitant, but I ended up really liking it.

I loved the concept for the story. It really turned the whole teen mom thing into a full blown business. We get one side of the story from Melody, where the adults were paying for the 'perfect' girl and boy to have a baby for them, which I found very fun to read. But then we also got the complete other side of the story from Harmony, with the extreme religion that goes against the surrogates.

I can understand why some people were turned off by the slang that isn't really explained to the reader, but I went into the book knowing that, and I ended up understanding what was going on with no problem.

I think that if you are interested in reading this book, go in with an open mind, and I think you will enjoy it a lot more.
