Description
A timely political dystopia in the vein of The Handmaid's Tale.
The year is 2112. To combat the infertility epidemic plaguing the world, the United States government has established the Department of Propagation—the last defense against the extinction of the human race. The agency oversees, facilitates, and monitors all activities related to procreation.
Like many women in the twenty-second century, Bette Donovan is infertile and just scraping by. After a seemingly freak accident sends her to the hospital, Bette suddenly finds herself under the scrutiny of the Department of Propagation, triggering a series of changes that turn her life inside out. Soon, she is inside the shiny, clinical walls of the Department’s birthing center. But the birthing center holds dark secrets. Confronted with the fallout of what a desperate society will do to survive, Bette’s only hope is to escape. In any way possible.

🔹CALLING ALL DYSTOPIAN LOVERS🔹
I have always loved dystopian novels, and this one deserves to be at the top of the list of must reads in the genre. Not only does Meghan Godwin deliver a disturbing and suspenseful novel of epic proportions, but it is written with such a beautiful poise and flow that I could not help but continually be impressed by.
This story has it all- Apocalyptic atmosphere, government control, civil divide, amazing and relatable characters, and a creatively unique storyline. Her way with words was incredible to me.
I was immediately sucked in to this one. It is disturbing and direct, but in a way that is necessary and for this story to be told. I was so attached to the characters, and the emotion that I felt going through this one was so authentic.
Dystopian novels are my favorite because of how they make you think, and Meghan Godwin does an amazing job of stringing together the multiple links in this story that truly make you believe this is all completely possible in our future.
I am officially going to label this one of my top reads of the year. I love when I get to read an authors debut novel and it turns out this incredible, because now I can’t wait to read what comes next.
