The Farm

After reading the blurb, I thought this book was going to take place in a dystopian-type future. As it turns out, it takes place at a time that could easily be now. This did not deter me, I still thought the premise was pretty cool.

The Farm is a place that surrogate mothers go to spend their pregnancies in the safest, healthiest way. These surrogates are women of varying races and socioeconomic backgrounds. We get to experience The Farm from the perspective of four different women. One is the creator and president of The Farm, two are surrogates, and one is a recruiter for the program.

This book was just OK for me. The writing was good and I was able to connect with most of the main characters. I just felt like this could have made a much bigger impact if there was something bigger happening. Like, a deep dive into the economic differences between the women at The Farm or maybe further exploration of the creepy-controlling staff at The Farm. I just feel like this book needed something more. As it is, it was just meh for me.
