The Farm by Joanne Ramos
3.0

3.5 stars. Want kids but too busy to have them yourself? Are you extremely wealthy? Hire a surrogate who will be secluded at The Farm for 9 months with Coordinators closely watching her every move. What's weird about this book is that it's not completely horrifying. It's fairly entertaining, dives into issues of class and race, but doesn't go that deep otherwise. As long as you don't expect something like the Handmaid's Tale, and are prepared for one character who is a doormat who makes stupid decisions to the point of annoyance, this is a good book to read.
