Review:

3 stars

Choosing Hope by Holly Kammier is a nice contemporary romance that is different from what contemporary stories I normally read. It's about a woman, named Hope, whose life is everything that he could ever want, and then it's not. I thought the story concept was interesting, and I really wanted to love the story, but I didn't. I did like it, but it just wasn't everything I was expecting it to be.

I would still recommend it. I think it stands out compared to normal contemporary romances (or maybe that's just for me), and I think if you like stories about love, family, and discovery; then this might just be the book for you.
