I Choose You by Sara Tallary

5.0

I enjoyed the book and couldn’t put it down! This is Sara Tallary’s debut novel and it is amazing. The book was so well written you could tell there was a lot of hard work and love put into it.

I loved the dynamic between Mackenzie and Mason and how their relationship changed. The build up to them finally confessing their feelings and doing something about it was perfect. Loved all the side characters and can’t wait to see their stories unfold.

There were a couple of things that I wish were explored more but not huge things. I wish Mackenzie’s issues with her father were talked about in more depth sooner. It kept getting glossed over and I think it would have helped me better understand her. Also the scene where her Mom shows her a box of her father’s things he left behind felt like it was missing something. I felt like there was more to the story or something more should have come of it (she takes the envelope of cards with her) because it felt like a big deal but nothing happened. I was left wondering if the cards would show up again (was she going to sell them? Give them away? Burn them?) but they didn’t.

Otherwise I loved the story.
