This book has one of the most interesting premises of a book I have read in a long time. There has been a fertility virus that has struck all adults and the only members of society that can conceive are teenagers. If that isn't a scary thought, then I don't know what is! :-) Enter into the scene Harmony and Melody, identical twins that were separated at birth. One was rasied in the "Church" where girls are raised to be married at 13 and submit to God's (or the Elders') will for their lives. The other girls was raised with two parents that have spend her whole life prepping her for a "bump" that will bring them money and fame. The girls come together and life is turned upside down for both of them in a major way. The end of the book leaves you hanging, so there is not surprise that the sequel (Thumped) will be coming out in April 2012. I for one, can't wait to read the conclusion this spring! Here is a video where the author explain the book even further.
