I Choose You by Sara Tallary

4.0

I Choose You is Sara Tallary’s debut novel and first in the Quaint Series. The characters were real, lovable, and you could feel the complexities of all their relationships between. Mason and Mackenzie are best friends. Sarah sells the hell out of the best friends to lovers trope between these two. You can feel the push and pull of not wanting to ruin the friendship, the fight they’re both having internally to restrict themselves of a desire they both want but won’t allow themselves to have.

The side characters were amazing as well. Everyone needs an Owen in their lives, I won’t be convinced otherwise! He’s a someone who is by your side and on your side but won’t give you crap advice because it’s what you want to hear.

There were some areas of description that felt drawn out or misplaced but this is a debut novel so I expect that to happen. It didn’t pull me out of the story but it felt like a flow is still being worked out.

However, the spice in I Choose You was perfectly steamy and delicious. There were moments I laughed so hard that I woke my husband up, even after I took a minute to gather myself, I was laughing as soon as I started reading again. I love that for me!

This was a much needed and refreshing read for me. I urge you to pick it up yourself!
