“Thumped is book 2 of 2 in a young adult series about a dystopic world in which a virus renders the human race infertile after the age of 18. Teen girls are forced into breeding contracts and reproductive arrangements, often against their will. Melody and Harmony are twins that had been separated at birth and they are at the end of their fertile years at the age of 17. The second book does a great job of picking up where the first book started and addressing the theme. It's a quick and easy read. While I would have rated it 3 1/2 stars, I'm rounding up because this series was such an unexpected "like" for me. I also appreciate the fact that the author ended the series after one book and a sequel, instead of trying to go for a cash cow trilogy, like most YA authors today. Don't expect the moon from them, but these books (Bumped and Thumped) could surprise you!”
