Waiting on Wednesday: Bumped by Megan McCafferty
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine, which spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" is:
Bumped by Megan McCafferty
Release Date: April 26th 2011
Publisher: HarperCollins
Age Group: Young Adult
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.
I love the sound of this book, it’s like nothing I have read before, so unique. Once I heard about it (thanks to Kirsti @ The Story Siren - once again!) I knew I had to add this to my to-read when released pile. It will be really interesting to read how McCafferty deals with the whole subject of paying teens to conceive which could be tricky. Also I just love the cover how cute is it?
Well that’s my “waiting on” pick, what's yours this week?
