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

The Bump has Wyatt and Biz having chosen the surrogate mother of their soon to arrive new baby decide they will take the long road trip from New York to California for the baby’s birth. It’ll be fun, they decide, lots of places to visit and see.
Right from the start it becomes hilariously different to what they envisioned with the bickering increasing whilst both have self doubts they don’t share with the other.
This is a funny at times sad story but they learn more about each other even having been together for a number of years. It gives a good insight into the surrogacy process and for many this is the the best way forward to have a child be it for same sex couples, infertility problems etc.
The journey for the reader is uplifting and enjoyable and at times so funny I was snorting with laughter. The finale was lovely and very satisfying, a great read.
My thanks to net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.
