I didn’t realize how much I needed this story until I read it!!! 

The Choice is the story of Josh, Memphis, and Skylar. You may recognize these names because they were present during Pheonix and Lennon’s story in The Words.  This story is how they all came to know each other and I need you all to go binge The Words & The Choice until The Consequence comes out!!! I need book 2 like NOW!!! 

Ms. Ashley Jade can write the heck out of beautifully flawed characters with traumatic pasts. She makes everything just… so.. naturally. Truly amazing. When I met Skylar in the words.. I thought.. “hmm ok she’s badass but what’s going on between her and Memphis.” I just knew there was so much more to their story and in The Choice you get the first part of their story. 

It’s by all means not easy to read. There’s child @buse, drüg @addiction, cheating.. amongst other triggers but it’s a fantastic story. Skylar is frustrating at times but understandable, Josh is someone you’ll want to punch on the face, and Memphis?! God Memphis is BEAUTIFUL!! 

Oh and that car scene?? With the “he slaps his free hand against the window and thrusts his hips” if you know.. YOU KNOW!! HOT!!!! 5 stars!!!
