This book was weird, but in a good kind of way. Once again I let my education chose my next YA dystopian novel! I really want to work with in vitro fertilisation and fertility treatments, so I thought it was really interesting to read about a future where a virus is making people infertile around the age of 18. Teen pregnancy all over the place and being encouraged - wow, what a scary future!

The main characters, twin sisters Melody and Harmony, were so totally different that it wasn't hard to keep track of whose chapter I was reading. Especially since Melody had the whole pregnancy-related slang going on (which, by the way, deeply amused me, I thought it was hilarious!) and Harmony was basically an Amish girl.

Oh, am I the only one who kept picturing Jondoe as a blond Gaston from Beauty & the Beast? Haha!

I'm excited to read Thumped next!
