The People We Choose by Katelyn Detweiler

4.0

It will never stop tickling me to read about my hometown painted so lovingly in a novel. I will never stop supporting Katelyn Detweiler and all of her work. I love the imagination and the improbable scenarios that her characters find themselves in. When you read a book like hers, you realize the possibilities for story telling are endless. Her stories always have fresh ideas and perspectives.

I really liked this story. Thistle Tate took on the idea of toxic families and an imperfect narrator who is trying to make amends and tell her truth. This story shows a family that is almost too perfect and wholesome. The choice on how the relationships are shown in this story give me a lot to chew on.

I read through this in three days. Once I got to a certain turning point, I couldn't put it down. A fantastic summer read.
