My Lady's Choosing: An Interactive Romance Novel by Larissa Zageris, Kitty Curran
3.0
This book is quite unusual in that the book is structured in a "Choose Your Own Adventure" manner. You get to choose which adventure you would like to embark upon and which romance you would like to pursue. I was determined to experience every storyline, so I approached the book in a systematic way, keeping a record on my computer of each page that I have read. In the end, I got frustrated, since I couldn't find the missing storylines that I hadn't engaged in, so I just read the few pages that I hadn't read yet, even though they were out of order. I felt that I knew the characters and storylines enough to do so without losing any of the charm that the book may possess.
I only gave the book three stars because, although I loved the premise, the writing was not the best and was a bit repetitive regardless of what storyline you chose. That being said, I would like to iterate that the book's writing left a lot to be desired because it is meant to be a parody of those cheesy romance novels that are prevalent on many bookshelves. If you approach this book in that manner, then it is quite hilarious; I found myself laughing out loud several times. It also reads pretty quickly, so if you looking for a quick read, it may be just the thing to get your blood pumping!
