The Bump

About this book

'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, what's a road trip without a few bumps along the way?

'Tender and humorous … Fans of Best Men will welcome this follow-up' STEVEN ROWLEY

Karger makes it easy to empathize with his heroes, bringing impressive emotional depth to their relationship. The twisty road trip plus cameos from Biz's large, boisterous family add plenty of fun. Readers will root for Biz and Wyatt to make it work' Publishers Weekly

'A touching adventure full of laughs, tender moments, and a ton of not-so-baby bumps in the road' Kirkus

'The novel moves along in high gear, and is a terrific beach read for the season ahead' MV Times
