The book Choosing You is now one of my favorite books! So are the rest of the books series… They are both romantic and dramatic. The two things I love most in a book.This book is about a girl named Jade who's mom died from an overdose. She barely has any money and all of a sudden gets something called the Kensington scholarship to an elite college. When she goes to school she meets a boy named Garret. She doesn't know much about him but she thinks he's cute. She starts to get to know him and then start liking him. He annoys her and she keeps rejecting him just to make him struggle… Even though she has a crush on him she's doesn't trust anybody. That is why she i playing hard to get. Things are heating up with her and Garrett things become more complicated. She keeps hearing her deceased mother's voice in her head saying nothing good ever lasts.Will this voice keep them apart? You'll have to find out by reading Choosing You.I would recommend this book to girls 12 and up. It has to mature content and scenes. It also has a large amount of swear words. Girls might also like this book if they are into romantic and dramatic stories. 4.5 Lightning Bolts from Storm Goddess Book Reviews Dear author. How dare you write a kick butt book that I so enjoyed and left me with that ending! To top it, I don't have the rest of the books, I want them badly, but I cannot get them at least for another week or two. This does not bode well for this impatient reader who needs to know the rest of the story like NOW!!!!!Rant over :)That being said: I wasn't sure how I felt about the story at first. Well, at least about Jade. She's very jaded. Yes, I know that was goofy of me to do, but I'm serious. Jade has some serious trust issues with people and she seems kinda standoffish at first. To a point, I get it. She comes off as snippy and a little cold. I didn't understand the characteristics until later on in the story where things were pieced together and I could finally get why she had that attitude. Garrett- Oh, love him! He's had his own past, but has pulled himself together. He's a bit mysterious, but I love how he is with Jade. I love their building friendship. One of the most refreshing things about this book is that this couple doesn't jump into bed for sex immediately. No, the relationship builds beautifully, and with that I mean it takes it's time to give us a glimpse of the characters and doesn't shove a relationship or sex in our faces. Well done. There's a little bit of drama, but nothing over the top. I loved Jade and Garrett learning about each other and working on their issues. Jade has plenty of pain in her past and she can't seem to let it go. The story made me laugh, a few times I was in tears, and then...then that ending. OMG! A quick turn of events brought on an element of mystery from the past and it's going to drive me CRAZY!!! It's going to haunt my dreams, keep me awake and I blame the author. Yes, yes I do. Okay, I went off again. I really enjoyed this story. The writing is good, the characters well done, though I do wish we could have had some POV with Garrett. This is my first read by the author, and won't be the last although I wish I could get them sooner. Real life, why must you get in the way? Don't you know not to get in the way of a book junkie and her addiction? Well done, Ms. Everhart.
