Audrey's Choice
Audrey Campbell knows exactly what she wants – and what she doesn’t. She’s always been attracted to a certain type of man: strong, aggressive, and rich. So when quiet, lanky, pale-skinned Clark Fisher expresses interest in her, she shrugs him off.
Audrey thinks nothing of her choice until a dark family secret comes to light and tragedy strikes. Suddenly, her poor decisions, her shallow preferences, and her wild lifestyle are all brought into question. Audrey is given a chance to see what her life would have been like with her eyes open to love instead of appearances.

An absolute waste of my time. I feel so irritated right now that I ignored my better judgement and read this bs. I’m sorry to this author but I’m going to be frank for a moment, this book was infuriating!
A quick summary is, it’s about a selfish woman named Audrey, who was raised by a single mother in Belize. She makes terrible choices regarding her life, her relationships with her family and her body. One day, she gets sucked into an alternate world where she sees what life could’ve been like if she didn’t make the choices she did.
But, a more in depth analysis of the FMC will show a selfish, shallow, condescending, vain human being. Being stuck reading her POV was miserable, SHE was miserable. I haven’t read about someone this negative in a minute. The male “love interest”, Clark was so sweet, strong and honest. He wasn’t a pushover, his only mistake was falling in love with this lady. No, he wasn’t “conventionally attractive”, but the way Audrey constantly embarrassed this guy publicly was so hurtful even to me. And she was never truly sorry.
All she ever saw in people were their flaws. She didn’t listen to anyone who had her best interests at heart, not her mother, her father, or anyone. Only her equally foolish friends.
I kept waiting for her to really change, somehow becoming worse after the first time jump. But I kept waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and the book ended with her STILL being condescending. I don’t know if at this point if it’s just the writing, but this character pissed me off so bad.
After the jump into the alternate reality, I pitied the people who had to deal with this strange, immature human being. I seriously cannot overstate how bad this woman’s character is. She called her own ‘children’ “it”, expressed how disgusted she was by them, kept insulting Clark’s appearance till she could ambush him into getting a makeover. She would get these little moments of being a somewhat sensible person, but it was so unbelievable because mere paragraphs before she was being condescending.
If something didn’t go her way, her first thought was to fight. And I didn’t understand how she turned out this way. Even though her father was somehow touting this theory that she behaved the way she did because she didn’t have a man in her life during her formative years, I do think women can raise well rounded, sensible, sensitive adults on their own, life is too broad to be boxed in my such a mindset. So I kept asking myself how she became such a human being. Her mom was a good person, her only flaw was reacting out of hurt and not telling Audrey about her father. So how did this individual become this way??
I guess I’ll never know. The book certainly wasn’t long enough to tell us. Maybe if it had more chapters, some things would’ve made more sense. Found myself just frowning a lot while reading this one, maybe I’ll delete this emotionally charged review later on, maybe. But Audrey pissed me off too much.

Superman masquerading as Clark
Absolutely loved Clark . He is the true definition of a man. Not the “alphas” that other books are trying to sell. Audrey’s story is hard to hear but needs to be told. She is not initially a likable heroine, but she will grow on you, and you will recognize her in people you know. With age comes maturity but choosing differently is the only way to impact the present and future.

Interesting concept
This was such an interesting concept. It took a while to get into the book because at first, the main character was so unlikable. Later, it became more interesting and I couldn’t wait to see how things would wrap up. But the ending was a letdown to me. I wanted more… more story, more details. It needed at least 20 more pages. I normally love Nia Arthurs but this one left me wanting.

Different....
This was a different story line and I must say I really enjoyed it. I'm not very happy about Audrey being the kind of woman she was, but it does take all kinds......
