Review Detail
3.9 14WOW&& this is such a different book. I cant imagine what life would actually be like if we had to rely on girls under 18 to become pregnant and then give the baby to a family who wants a baby.
Bumped is about 2, 16 year old twin sisters, separated at birth and have just reunited. Harmony is very religious and doesnt believe in being bumped. She believes that its never ok to become pregnant outside of marriage. Every day she wears a veil and clothes that cover up every inch of skin. Then she finds out she has a twin sister and she leaves home and goes to find her.
Melody is the complete opposite of Harmony, she believes in being bumped and she wants to have become pregnant, but she needs to find the right one. Her parents have paid a lot of money to hire someone to find the perfect match that would make a beautiful baby.
Once Harmony shows up on Melodys doorstep both their lives dramatically changed.
I want to say that I liked this as much as I wanted to but I didnt. I think I was too hyped up for the book. But I honestly did like it. I gave it 4/5 stars.
I loved how it switched from melodys to Harmonys POV each chapter, I felt a little annoyed by the way Harmony would try to shove God down everyones throats but I soon came to know a little bit more about Harmony and I understood her better. She was raised that way and if raised differently she wouldnt be the person she was.
I absolutely love the plot of this book, its different than anything I have ever read and it really shines a light on teen pregnancy. Although it kind of seemed like it, Bumped does not condone teenage pregnancy.
Bumped was a fantastic read and once I started I couldnt get enough of it. I cant wait for the sequel of this book to come out. I have a feeling Im going to enjoy it a lot more than this one.
