The Farm by Joanne Ramos
4.0

The Farm is about impoverished women working as surrogates to wealthy families at a place called Golden Oaks. In many ways this story felt like a modern sister of The Handmaid’s Tale in the way that women in the story lose control of their body and other choices. I connected with the characters and the impossible choices they needed to make to survive and support their family. This books raises a lot of timely ethical questions and leaves the reader thinking about what they’d do in these situations. I enjoyed the alternate perspective story. The ending felt abrupt and I was hoping for more, but overall I enjoyed this thought provoking story.
