Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking The Spine which encourages bloggers talk about books they're excited to read.
I'm excited about Bumped. The premise sounds fantastic, here's a blurb from GoodReads
When a virus makes everyone over the age of eighteen infertile, would-be parents are forced to pay teen girls to conceive and give birth to their children, making teens the most prized members of society.
Sixteen-year-old identical twins Melody and Harmony were separated at birth and had never met until the day Harmony shows up on Melody’s doorstep. Until now, the twins have followed completely opposite paths. Melody has scored an enviable conception contract with a couple called the Jaydens. While they are searching for the perfect partner for Melody to bump with, she is fighting her attraction to her best friend Zen, who is way too short for the job.
Harmony has spent her whole life in religious Goodside, preparing to be a wife and mother. She believes her calling is to bring Melody back to Goodside and convince her that “pregging” for profit is a sin. But Harmony has secrets of her own that she is running from.
When Melody is finally matched with the world-famous, genetically flawless Jondoe, both girls’ lives are changed forever. A case of mistaken identity takes them on a journey neither could have ever imagined, one that makes Melody and Harmony realize they have so much more than just DNA in common
Sounds fantastic doesn't it? Long lost twins, a dystopian society that needs it's young people to carry their babies and it's a new book from Megan Mccafferty who wrote Sloppy Firsts: A Jessica Darling Novel
and the rest of the Jessica Darling series. Judging by her past work this should be an excellent book for the high school aged audience.Bumped
will be released on May 1st.
