The Ones We Choose by Julie Clark

4.0

* Thank you Gallery Books for sending me a beautiful finished copy to read and review. *

This book follows Paige as she navigates her world as a geneticist studying a specific gene in fathers, and as a single mother to her son. When her son begins to ask questions about his father, she does not know how to answer as she utilized a donor. Throughout the book, Paige confronts her vulnerabilities and has to examine how her own father's behavior is impacting her now.

This book talks about family. About how certain experiences during childhood will affect you in adulthood. It's about friendship, and difficult choices. This book is an emotional journey. I felt invested in Paige and her experience. I rooted for her through the difficult choices she had to made, but also questioned some of the things she did.
