another book recommendation: BUMPED, by megan mccafferty.
i adored the jessica darling series (read it immediately. run, do not walk, to the nearest book vendor, be it a shop or the internet, and purchase the series. you will not be disappointed and you will fall in love), but this is very different. it’s a sort of alternate world where most of the population is rendered infertile at the age of 18, so teenagers become very important in carrying children. teenage pregnancy is positively encouraged, sometimes with a financial incentive. i really enjoyed the book, but it is narrated by a set of twins and i could not stand one of them, which made it slightly less enjoyable. i don’t want to say too much, but i really recommend it. it raises interesting questions, but isn’t really heavy or dark, so it’s an easy read.
