It was about a kid who lived his entire life in a corral with other males in a isolated facility where they watch videos segments through a spine attachment.

Protagonist sneaks through a hole in the wall into the adjoining females bunk and gets a women pregnant.

She decides she wants to leave the facility and live outside, where it’s not so cushy but there’s no forced VR.

Ring any bells for any one?

I would like to re-read it.
