Bookworms, it's time to secure your tracking bracelet - sorry I mean your "Well Band" - because we're about to dive into The Farm, the debut novel by Filipino American author Jane Ramos.

Set inside Golden Oaks, a baby farm in Massachusetts where women (especially immigrants) serve as surrogates for super-wealthy clients, The Farm reads not so much as dystopia, but as a plausible next step on our capitalist journey.

With a super interesting premise, and a whole lot of buzz, we were very excited to read this one. Come and find out what we thought was good, what we thought was missing, and what we thought of Ben's emoji choice.

Happy Listening!
