Book Review: Lesbian Love on Campus
Summary: 5 Stars
It truly is a "different world" from where you come from - nothing is more evident than in author Skyy's debut novel, CHOICES, a spellbinding story of four friends at an HBCU navigating lesbian life.
Hearts are broken, friendships are tested, and lessons are learned by the richly-drawn characters who come to life from the very first chapter. More like family, Denise, Cooley and Carmen are out lesbians on campus and best friends aiding each other through love and life; adding Lena, the sexy new roommate of Denise, only enhances their friendships.
Lena is the new girl on campus. Her heart belongs to Brandon, the star of the men's basketball team. That, combined with her wealthy background, makes her the most envied girl on campus, especially since she's set to be the wife of a future NBA superstar. Despite that, Lena finds something intriguing about the tomboy she shares a room with - and her curiosity about Denise begins to get the better of her.
Denise is the unattainable stud athlete, with mad skills on and off the court. Her heart has been closed since her last failed relationship - until she walks into her dorm room the first day of school and discovers Lena unpacking. While noticing her curvaceous form, Denise soon realizes Lena is a remarkable woman with a good heart, and can't help but fall hard for the beauty. It's a move she's not sure she wants to make.
Completely opposite of Denise is Cooley, the smooth player of the bunch, the stud who's managed to have any woman - gay or straight - that she sets her sights on. Christened as "Killa Cap" for her sexual prowess, Cooley has played more games with females than Milton Bradley. One woman, however, doesn't seem to take no for an answer and makes her life a living hell, possibly ruining Cooley's one chance at a real relationship.
Tired of the "big girl" blues, Carmen takes hold of her life and drops enough dress sizes to be a dime. Carmen figures losing the weight will help her ex see her in a new light, but she still can't shed the self-esteem issues that plague her. Will Carmen finally find someone to accept her for whom she is, and even better, learn to love herself?
Skyy's Choices amounts to a story with heart. The author has taken the black college experience and made it her own - lesbian style. Classes, parties, sororities...all of it creates a fresh story that hasn't been done this well in black lesbian novels. Bravo, Skyy!
Now where's the sequel - cause you can't leave me hangin'.

Summary of Choices
Set on the campus of Freedom University, a historically black college in Memphis, Tennessee, the lives and choices of four women are intertwined. Sexy and smart, Lena Jamerson has her whole life planned out for her. The daughter of two of Freedom s most prominent alums, it is a given that she will fulfill her Chi Theta Legacy as well as become engaged to NBA-bound Brandon Redding, or is it? With wealth, prestige and a beautiful body she could choose anything ... even someone new. Denise the reserved women's basketball champion has no time for dating. Her only choices are grades, game and becoming the first in her family to graduate, until a sexy stranger enters her life, causing her to reconsider her options. Playa of another flava, Cooley sparks curiosity of her own with women on both sides of the orientation fence. Will the choices of her past prevent the romance of her future? Meanwhile, Carmen's choices have given her a new exterior and a new lease on life. Can her sexy new shape get her into Chi Theta and a new romance? Or will the same internalized insecurities keep her from finding the love she deserves? In the school of life and love, what choices would you make?Fiction Books
