6.3.2020 - The Choice

The Choice by Gillian McAllister

Many thanks to NetGalley, GP Putnam's Sons, and Gillian McAllister for the opportunity to read this fantastic book - 5 stars for such a creatively-written story that I could not put down.

Joanna is with her best friend, Laura, for a night out at a local pub.  They're having a good time but there's that guy who just won't leave Joanna alone and it turns from annoying to scary.  The friends decide to leave and head different directions out of the pub.  Still shaken, Joanna hears footsteps following her and they keep following her.  She looks down behind her and sees the man wearing the same shoes as the guy from the pub - as he gets next to her, she pushes him, and he falls down a flight of stairs.  And she has to make The Choice.  Does she leave and pretend it didn't happen?  Or does she call for help?  From that decision point, the book is then divided into two chapters with completely different storylines - Reveal and Conceal.

I just loved the way this book was written and how easily I was able to slip into each life version stemming from The Choice.  Shows how one split second decision can affect our entire lives and of all those around us.  Highly recommended!  Can't wait to read her next book!
