{2.5 stars} 
 September 2013 YA for Adults Book Club Pick 
 This book was CRAY. I could hardly even handle it, but it was so out there that I'm planning on reading the sequel. Melody and Harmony, twin sisters separated at birth, live in a futuristic society where everyone over 18 is infertile and now teenage girls get to do all of the baby-making. Melody represents the consumer side of America. She's planning on getting pregnant for a couple that will pay her six figures in return for the baby. Harmony is ultra-religious. Her life revolves around getting married at a young age and having babies and raising them in the compound with her husband. But the girls secretly fear their chosen lifestyle, especially since in both cases the choices were made for them by their adoptive parents. 
 It almost borders on satire, but I don't know if the book is that smart. Also, the made-up slang and incessant references to pregnancy are incredibly grating. (For instance, Melody complaining that she "had to wait for wait seemed like a full trimester." On the other hand, there was the occasional gem, such as the professional bumping heartthrob saying that he was helping out Melody as a bit of "pro boner work.") Maybe I'll check out The Handmaid's Tale when I'm finished reading the sequel.
