Customer Reviews

Good book, but not always realistic!
I disagree with the person who said this book causes moral decay. They are obviously ultra-religious and need to put their Bible away.

Love is One of the Choices is a pretty good book. Maggie and Todd's romance is very realistic, while Justin and Caroline's moves too quickly and is too much like a fairy tale. I didn't like how quickly she gave her virginity to him and how quickly they got married.

But overall, this is a story about two girls becoming women, and not just sexually. Caroline's insecurities and Maggie's facade is very realistic, and I do wish Ms. Klein would write a book about their lives 10 years from then. I think it would be interesting to see what happens.

A Blast from the Past
I'm sorry to see that this book is out of print, as it was one of my favorites many years ago, when I was about 10 years old (possibly younger). I was considered an intelligent, precocious child, so it was exciting for me to read about "older girls" who seemed smart and strong-minded, and were facing adult challenges. I certainly didn't find it to have a corrupting influence in any way; I was inspired by the heroines, especially Maggie, whose wit leapt off the page. I recall trying to read other books by Norma Klein, but this was the only one that I thought was really well-done.

Young women can relate
I read this book about 7 years ago and even though I am older I still pick it up every now and then and read it. Seven years ago when I read this book I remeber feeling like these girls were my friends. This book does not contribute to moral decay it just had facts of life. Great book!
