Summary: 4 Stars
College is usually the place where young adults `find' themselves. If they have found themselves prior to attending, then college becomes a vehicle for them to express those findings. The four women in Skyy's debut novel, Choices, were perfect examples of this truth, and Freedom University, an HBCU in Memphis, Tennessee, was their turf.
Making sure her lesbian, bisexual, and try-sexual partners were thoroughly satisfied was the only way Cooley had it. Women who pursued her expected nothing less than the best; especially since her reputation pertaining to her sexually gratifying techniques was legendary. It was not about love with her, until she met a less-than-interested woman who handed her a dose of her own concoction.
Though Lena's success was predetermined, she hoped to surround herself with `real' people while she attended the university. With a mother who was a well-known alumni and a boyfriend who was the star basketball player, destined for the NBA, it seemed almost impossible. She found out that being judged by the wealth she had and who her man was, were not her biggest concerns. How did she cope when the `realness' she found, was not the `realness' she sought?
Carmen was sure to make heads snap with a slimmer figure this school year. With a bad relationship tucked under her sleeve, surely she would find someone who appreciated and loved her the way she wanted them to. Would she find out that a thick-insecure-girl turned thin-insecure-girl was still an insecure girl? Or would her shortcomings have her attracting the very things she tried desperately escaping?
Denise had her plans mapped out; become the women's basketball team champion and the first person in her family to from graduate college. Relationship was not in her vocabulary until the type of woman she usually would not date, creates the possibility of adding romance to her list of goals. Could she handle all of the pressure these things bring?
Skyy penned an impressive debut novel. The first few pages had me hooked with an in-your-face scenario that piqued my curiosity immediately and caused me to finish the book in one day. The characters depth was excellent and commanded your attention. They were so diverse that anybody could relate to one of them, in some way. The pacing of the novel was good and the transitions were on point. No matter what your sexual preference is, there is no denying that the sex scenes are racy and hot. The typesetting could have been better as some of the words seemed to disappear into the spine, making it an uncomfortable book to hold. Overall, Choices was a great read and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys LGBT fiction and those who appreciate a well-told story with edgy sex scenes, and have an open mind. There is a sequel in the works, Consequences, which I am definitely going to have on my shelf.
