It’s been thirty-five weeks since twin sisters Harmony and Melody went their separate ways. And now their story has become irresistible: twins separated at birth, each due to deliver twins…on the same day!
Married to Ram and living in Goodside, Harmony spends her time trying to fit back into the community she once believed in. But she can’t forget about Jondoe, the guy she fell for under the strangest of circumstances.
To her adoring fans, Melody has achieved everything: a major contract and a coupling with the hottest bump prospect around. But this image is costing her the one guy she really wants.
The girls’ every move is analyzed by millions of fans eagerly counting down to “Double Double Due Date.” They’re two of the most powerful teen girls on the planet, and they could do only one thing to make them even more famous:
Tell the truth.

I, an adult, just finished reading these books. I feel that from an adult perspective that this story can be viewed several different ways. I myself was shocked in places and laughed in others. But I feel that maybe a teen picking up these books, with the popularity that teen pregnancy has today, what their take on these books would be.
There are a lot of legal dealings, there are contracts placed and agreements made between minors, parents, lawyers and the "customer". I think that on a level the younger readers will not realize that addition to the story. At it's core this is a business and my opinion is that factor will be overlooked by younger readers.
Also the complexities of the non-religious and religious views of the characters and the underlying story.
The best thing these stories, when read by teens is the discussions that can come from it. There are discussion guides in the back that I think could only help the readers understand more what their opinions about the books are and start some good discussions.
Have you read these books? What is your take on them, even with just the above info?
What do you think?
