THE BUMP is a story about two dads-to-be who embark on a cross-country road trip/babymoon but end up unearthing some issues along the way. biz and wyatt are pretty different people, but that hasn't been much of an issue throughout their relationship—until this road trip sheds a light on them. they're committed to being parents and to each other, but their communication leaves a lot to be desired and as their trip stops going as planned, they have no choice but to communicate with each other. if the miscommunication trope isn't your thing, this book might not be for you. i don't have any strong feelings about the trope, but this book really put that to the test. regardless of that, i still really enjoyed it and would recommend it! 

read if you like:
- very gay road trips
- opposites attract
- relationship in trouble
- lots of baby talk
