I regret not having tissues ready, because there were many places in this book where I needed them. And that is the kind of book I love to read.
The Choices We Make is a story of friendship that started in childhood and continues into adulthood. One of the women is a mother, the other prays for the experience of holding her own sweet child in her arms. But once she understands that that dream will never materialize, her friend provides a baby through surrogacy.

This book is the perfect blend of real-life, emotional situations, and twisty suspense. I love stories about the choices people have to make, and the fallout from those decisions (both bad and good). The author does an amazing job at putting the reader in the character’s shoes: I found myself asking what I would do in the situation. And even if you would do the opposite, you still get why the characters do what they do to achieve the one thing they want more than anything—to be a parent. Who can’t relate to that??
From Jen's list on complicated female characters and a good plot twist.
