"Have you ever kissed a girl?"
"No..."
"Do you want to?"
Juliet Jameson finds herself in a difficult situation at her first high school party, trapped in a dark room with a girl named Piper. To Juliet’s dismay, she finds that being near Piper elicits more feelings, physically and emotionally, than any guy ever has. It is at this point that Juliet must make a decision. Should she give in to her hidden, innermost desires and kiss Piper, or should she be the good, little Christian her parents raised her to be?
It is with this choice that Juliet’s story breaks off into two completely different, yet equally possible futures. One where Juliet, or “Jules,” falls madly in love with a girl she never thought she could get, though she loses her family and sometimes her pride in the process…and the other where Juliet reluctantly marries her childhood guy friend and is quickly pulled into the hell that is alcoholism and substance abuse. But, in the end, there can only be one choice.

I really enjoyed this book and read through it in one sitting. I definitely wanted to know what would happen next, and the author did a nice job of ending each storyline's chapter in a spot where I would want to know more.However, all that aside... It felt a little preachy, almost. The two separate lives were almost two separate, if that makes sense. When she chose to be gay, her childhood sucked, but then her adulthood went so well and she had everything line up for her. Whereas in her "straight" life, it just seemed like everything fell further and further apart as time went on. I mean, it got BAD. Like, drugs being abused and stillbirths bad.
Now, I'm LGBT myself, so yeah, I agree, if you try to hide your true self, it will lead to miserable consequences and your life may fall apart. But unfortunately, life isn't just a bouquet of roses once you're out of out of high school if you come out of the closet. What I've found is that identity tends to be more of a push and pull phenomenon rather than all or nothing like this book betrayed it. Some days, you're really in tune with yourself and proud to be LGBT. Other days, you want to hid from the world and pretend to be anyone other than who you are. This creates more of a tide-like flow of good and bad moments, rather than mostly good or mostly bad and all dependent on whether you're out or not.
Overall, it felt like maybe the author had a strong idea of which way the story was supposed to go, and the story got pushed that way whether it liked it or not. It made me ultimately feel a little disconnected from Juliet/Jules - It felt like the sort of story your mom would tell you about her past. You know there's probably more juicy bits to it than she's letting on, but she wants to make sure you don't miss that moral, darn it.

The Choice eBook Melody Robinette Reviews
Great Book!!!
I enjoyed the way the book is written where you see what happens to the character depending on the choice she makes. A nice read. Enjoyed the book!
Fabulous story!
Great, quick read. I was hooked from the first page and couldn't put it down. Looking forward to more books of this genre from this author.
A beautifully written love story as a young woman learns to follow her heart. There are sentences that were so powerful I would stop reading to think about them! I love that this is'nt a cookie cutter romance and takes an important look at some of the relevant issues for not just gay teens but all teens in general. The characters are so relatable and this author has a gift for dialogue! Would gladly read anything written by Melody Robinette...awesome job!
The parallel development of the story is interesting (chapters are alternated and designated by either Juliet or Jules) and I read it a second time but just the parallel Jules.
Juliet/Jules is a complex person capable of courage, integrity and honesty but susceptible to intimidation and all the self destructive symptoms that go with living in fear and not as you should.
I enjoyed the parallel perspectives as they developed and highly recommend this book.
This is an an extraordinary story of a teen coming to terms with her sexuality. The story gives you the insight into the trauma involved when a girl is faced with feelings of being gay or straight. After reading this book I had a better understanding of what a person faces during this journey. I highly recommend this book.
