This story takes place society were almost every person over the age of twenty has been effected by a virus that makes them unable to have children. Basically everyone is desperate to have a child of their own. Because of this, they have resulted to paying teenagers to be surrogates for them. For all the teenagers this is the best way to make money, and lot of it. It is also a cool thing for them to do, they call it "bumping."Melody is sixteen years old, she was adopted as a baby. She has been raised with the perfect characteristics parents look for in a surrogate. She has signed on with a wonderful rich parents that she is planning of being the surrogate for. She gets distracted when she finds out she has a twin sister named Harmony.
Harmony is a "Churchy" meaning she has been raised in a church her whole life and has never left the Goodside, the community she lives in. She decides to disobey the rules and come to find her sister and help her join the church. Little does she know about the outside society and is surprised and a little bit scared about where she is. Hoping for the best she knocks on her sisters door unannounced.
The whole book is full of ups and downs. Their two stories collide in a very unexpected way, with mistaken identity and more! The girls find they have more in common than just being sisters.
This book was a good story, just not written very well. It made me think more about teen pregnancy and what a big problem it is in our society. Also, I am so glad it isn't normal for girls my age to be pregnant. At times in the book I wasn't sure what exactly was going on. I wish the author would have gone into more detail in describing characters and the setting.
I enjoyed this book and I am pretty sure you will too! You'll be hooked after the first two chapters. Good luck to any future readers.
