The Choices We Make

by Karma Brown

Following her bestselling debut novel Come Away with Me, Karma Brown returns with an unforgettable story that explores the intricate dynamics of friendship and parenthood.

Hannah and Kate became friends in the fifth grade, when Hannah hit a boy for looking up Kate's skirt with a mirror. While they've been close as sisters ever since, Hannah can't help but feel envious of the little family Kate and her husband, David, have created-complete with two perfect little girls.

She and Ben have been trying for years to have a baby, so when they receive the news that she will likely never get pregnant, Hannah's heartbreak is overwhelming. But just as they begin to tentatively explore the other options, it's Kate's turn to do the rescuing. Not only does she offer to be Hannah's surrogate, but Kate is willing to use her own eggs to do so.

Full of renewed hope, excitement and gratitude, these two families embark on an incredible journey toward parenthood...until a devastating tragedy puts everything these women have worked toward at risk of falling apart. Poignant and refreshingly honest, The Choices We Make is a powerful tale of an incredible friendship and the risks we take to make our dreams come true.

This was fantastic - great character development and a very strong and twisty plot line. These characters are in such a unique and heart-wrenching situation, and it’s fascinating and a bit painful to imagine the emotional roller coaster Hannah and Kate especially are on. I did feel like I anticipated the “twist” - but I don’t feel that took away from my reading experience. If anything it heightened the emotional anticipation of the climax, which was pretty gut-wrenching. Highly recommend this.
