Brittany Vonderhaar | 1 comments I was suppose to read this one book in High School (2009).
All I really remember from it is there was some type of controlled society. The characters would talk as if they were a collective group saying "We" instead of "I". They would each be given a number they were referred to as. The higher ups of the society would give appoint them their life long job.
The main character was a guy, and he liked this girl who was chosen for the job as a child bearer.
I'm sorry it's not much but it is all I can remember.

Brittany, that's a good start but we need book genre (e.g., YA dystopia/sci fi) and plot details in the header/ topic title (at the top of the page). We have thousands of YA book requests, so threads with vague headers are closed.

You can copy and paste from what you've already written. Click the small "edit" link after the header. (This only works on the full Desktop website - not the Mobile website or app. If you're using the Mobile website, click the "Desktop version" link at the bottom of the page.)

I added some details to the header/ topic title. Feel free to edit it.

Kinda sounds like Son by Lois Lowry. But it’s been awhile since I’ve read that one.
