Bumped

The concept was FAR better than the execution. If the writing and plot had lived up to the premise, it would have been four stars easily.

This book was weird, but in a good kind of way. Once again I let my education chose my next YA dystopian novel! I really want to work with in vitro fertilisation and fertility treatments, so I thought it was really interesting to read about a future where a virus is making people infertile around the age of 18. Teen pregnancy all over the place and being encouraged - wow, what a scary future!

The main characters, twin sisters Melody and Harmony, were so totally different that it wasn't hard to keep track of whose chapter I was reading. Especially since Melody had the whole pregnancy-related slang going on (which, by the way, deeply amused me, I thought it was hilarious!) and Harmony was basically an Amish girl.

Oh, am I the only one who kept picturing Jondoe as a blond Gaston from Beauty & the Beast? Haha!

I'm excited to read Thumped next!

I wasn't sure about this book at first. It was very ABC Family, and not in the good way. But the second half of the book really got to the heart of the plot and made me care about the characters, which helped me see past the language. Much better than I expected at the start of the book and I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Very strange book.
