Absolute Must Read

This book is excellent. It really makes you think about the really hard choice that women have to make if they have an unwanted pregnancy. As Reed put it in her book "probably the hardest choice a woman will have to make." I read this book in one night, I couldn't put it down. It is a real page turner. All three of the women in this book, have different circumstances as to why they are making the choice they are; as are women today. This book is an absolute must read, it really shows you their side. This is an absolute must read!

A wonderful book!

This was such a compelling book. The three women were so different and yet they had a common bond.It is a fast read that will hold your interest.And it is really a non-judgemental book on abortion.

Tears and laughter

This book really got to me. I had an abortion at age 16 and I relived it all, I laughed and cried and thought about the choices I made. A book like this one is good because it isn't an angry abortion book but is about real people and real life feelings. I am 24 now and have gone on with my life, making better choices I hope! But I will always remember the characters in this book.

Loved it

Faced with a devestating and painful decision, each of these brave women looks into her heart and makes a choice that affects the rest of her life. Reed carries them on into their future and the men who love them, all so vividly drawn that they become real to the reader, like beloved sisters and friends. You will laugh with them and weep for them, but you will not forget them.

Loved it, laughed and cried!

From the minute that Diedre meets Mitch at a party and makes love to him, to the wonderful, loving relationship of Treva and Wade, who celebrate "anniversaries" at the drop of a hat, I was totally hooked on this warm book.The author covers some very tough issues... should women "choose," and what happens to the ramifications of those choices? Life is a lot more complex than just deciding yes or no about having a baby. And yet, the joy, warmth, kindness and humor just reverberates through CHOICES, and there were places where I just had to cry.I loved these women, I loved their courage and their strength, and the ending of the book... well, I don't want to reveal it but it's such a tear-jerker I read it four times and STILL found tears in my eyes.Abigail Reed, keep on writing books that touch the heart-- I'm going to buy all of them and devour them the same day.
