Evil Empire: Princeton, New Jersey, in the year 2036, when a virus has spread throughout the world that makes most people sterile by age 18.

Main Form of Oppression: Since teens are the only ones having babies, girls are highly encouraged to "bump." Teen pregnancy is fetishized and celebrated everywhere. And of course, someone's got to make a profit from awful situations, so the smartest and most attractive kids are being hired as "Surrogettes" and "Sperms" for rich parents. Meanwhile, in a strict religious community known as "Goodside," the oppression takes on a much more old-school form, as girls wind up in arranged marriages at age 13.

Girl Rebel: Harmony, a 16-year-old Jesus-loving Goodside girl who discovers that she and her identical twin were separated when they were adopted as babies. Though she won't admit it, she doesn't seem too happy with her arranged marriage at home, and she heads out to meet her long-lost sister, under the auspices of saving her from the depravity of having babies for profit.

Girl Conformist: Melody, one of the first girls to "go pro," as in, her adoptive parents hired an agent to sell her future children to the highest bidder. They've done everything to make her the ideal candidate: with high test scores, perfect grades, good looks and talent for soccer and guitar. But then as she waits for the couple who hired her to find the perfect sperm, all of her friends are already sporting bumps, and she's starting to realize how much control all these other people have over her body.

Boy Rebel: Zen, Melody's best friend, whose shorter stature makes him an undesirable, er, donor, even though he and Melody seem just about meant for each other.

Boy Conformist: Jondoe, the most coveted professional Sperm in the biz, who gets wrapped up in the Melody/Harmony drama in hilarious ways I don't want to spoil.

How They Fight the Man: Well, anytime they're not pregnant, you could say Melody and Harmony are bucking the system.

Metaphor for the Real World: For one, there's the comment on how super-sexy teens are currently so inappropriately valued in our society, especially when you consider the effects of teen pregnancy. For another, there's a comment on what goes wrong when you're either entirely ruled by pop culture, or entirely ruled by fundamentalist religion.

Who Should Read This: Fans of "Teen Mom," "16 and Pregnant" and "Juno," obvs. Also, anyone who enjoys smart dialogue, imagining the funny technology of the future and examining tough issues like religion and sexuality through a light-hearted, rom-com lens.
