'Sid Karger has done it again, with this beautifully-written and timely story that resonates in a universal way. The Bump is a smart, deeply funny and heartwarming novel that perfectly captures modern parenthood, family and love. What a joy to read' ANDERSON COOPER
Wyatt and Biz are freaking out.
Their surrogate is ready to pop and their life as care-free New Yorkers is nearly over.
So as a last hurrah, and to get their relationship back on track before the baby arrives, the soon-to-be-daddies embark on a road trip across America to pick up their bundle of joy.
But when several unexpected detours cause long-buried secrets to spill, old wounds are reopened and the couple are forced to reexamine the meaning of family.
After all, whats a road trip without a few bumps along the way
