The Farm

I received a free e-copy of The Farm by Joanne Ramos from NetGalley for my honest review.
I was so excited to get a copy of this book. It sounded like it was going to be a good, thrilling, dystopian type of book. Unfortunately it fell flat for me.
The Farm is an interesting read about a resort for surrogate mothers of very wealthy clients. The book is told from the perspective of four different women. The first is the creator/president of The Farm, two others are surrogates, and the last one is a recruiter for the program.
You get to learn how the "farm" came to be, why surrogates have been selected, why the surrogates choose to be surrogates and information regarding who the clients are. You learn difficulties and struggles the surrogates go through. These women are drawn in by a big payout, and they agree to become surrogates for a variety of reasons. But there are rules they must follow. Each one of them conforming differently.

Nice review, Selena! I’m sorry it fell flat for you - I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews for this one so far. I have an ARC from NetGalley that I plan to read soon.

Selena, I accepted the NG widget for this one but I'm on the fence after seeing lackluster reviews. Thanks for the head's up.
