Jessica and Chris had their first chance at love when they were studying in Edinburgh. Away from the US for the first time in their lives, neither expects to bump into someone from their hometown, much less fall in love. But fate has a way of playing tricks with people. And the question is whether their love is strong enough to last even when they return to America, especially when race comes into play.

Sigh. I stumbled upon this novella and...my heart aches. I literally had a Chris and let him go. I believe it was the right thing to do, but I still ache 27 years later. Thanks for reminding us that interracial love (or any love) is visceral, sometimes conflicted, and sometimes works out in spite of everything.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hope there's a sequel
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2016

The main characters are two young Americans attending school abroad, who meet and discover they're from from the same city. The writer does a good job of describing the personal emotions of this black woman/white man relationship. Jessica struggles as she tries to find a place for their relationship that doesn't invite scorn from either race while Chris, being the typical man, ignores external reactions and doesn't allow others feelings to be a factor in the relationship.

It's a good inside look at both gender and racial perspectives in interracial dating. Jessica fears rejection from family and friends and is conflicted about what happens once they return to America.

Although I enjoyed the book and knew it was a short story I would have liked to find out if there was an HEA for them.

Hopefully there's a sequel.

It is often said that the best reading is when the author writes something "true" even when it's a piece of fiction. Kim Golden does that with Choose Me. This novella is lush as a box of chocolates in its language but as tart as a mojito in the relationship issues that are at the heart of the story. Its just the right length to take to bed some evening with a glass of good red wine. The fictional photographs taken by Chris of Jessica are both sex and metaphor -- they will stay with you long after you finish the story.

I liked this book. It spoke to a couple in transition; one ready to take it to the next level, and the another Jess, still stuck on other people's perception of their relationship. Didn't like the ending.

1.0 out of 5 stars WTF
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2013

Was this book really suppose to end abruptly like it did, or did I miss something??? Didn't like anything about it, truth be told. In this day and time, people are not as color struck when it c ones to couples. And the female character made WAY too much out of it which was off putting to me. Hope I didn't pay a lot for it, but can't recall.......

I really did. After reading reviews for it I gave it a try.i won't discuss errors or typos.any writer worth their salt would have seen them by now and kicked themselves enough by now. The storyline was promising but the lack of detail and borderline depressing turn of the characters storyline left me sour.i do not regret reading it but won't revisit again like some of the others I have read.

This story shares some of the challenges of being in an interracial relationship. I like that the author did not gloss nor try to make the heroine seem valid or invalid in her fears. Nor did she try to make the hero seem "woke." Each one had a choice in how they processed, reacted and communicated.

I was expecting the story I read of Jessica and Chris. I was expecting just a quick read but I became enraptured by the lives within the pages. First was, Jessica whose yearn for something more than her life in Philadelphia brought her to Scotland. Then appears Chris, who is instantly attracted to said damsel, is traveling/learning from a well-known photographer. Both from Philly find love far away from their home. Can it last? What do they learn from each other?

1.0 out of 5 stars what a disappointment!M
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 21, 2014

Can't believe how abruptly this ended. What a disappointment to the story. Not that it was that brilliant as it failed to really address the fact in today's society interracial relationships are not as taboo as this girl in her head made out. I found it really hard to feel anything for any character and her friend was just annoying and ignorant. In fact she was very racist. The only decent, intelligent character in this extremely short book was Tyler.
