Publisher's summary

When Jade is given a scholarship to an elite private college in Connecticut, she sees it as a chance to finally escape her painful past and get a fresh start. She’s determined to succeed and that means keeping her focus on school and not guys. But that plan falls apart her first day on campus when Garret, a wealthy prep school boy with swimmer abs and a perfect smile, offers to help her move in.

Jade tries to push him away but she can’t deny her attraction to him and Garret won’t let her. Things quickly heat up between them, but then come to a sudden halt when reality hits and Jade realizes that a relationship with Garret may never be possible. He comes from a world of wealth where there are rules, including rules about who he can date. And not following those rules has consequences.

As the two of them try to overcome the obstacles working to keep them apart, Jade is confronted with another challenge. On her 19th birthday, she receives a letter that her now deceased mother wrote years ago. In it are revelations that explain her traumatic childhood but also make her question the past she’s been running from.

omg! wtf!? when does the next book come to audible!? I need more of this book. like NOW!!

if are thinking about getting this book do it! but be warned that the other books are not yet released on audible and if you're like me and listen to books instead of reading them you will want to throw your phone across the room because you're done with the book and realize you can't continue this series on audible yet. :(

Typical Teenage Drama Spoiled Brat BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't even finish the book. I left the book on chapter 7 hoping for something. This book is about a spoiled "poor" teenage girl who can't appreciate anything. She constantly complains about everyone she comes in contact with. Supposedly a cute boy comes along and wants to be with her but she questions it like she is some quasimodo looking dog. OK too much drama for me. This book should be for like 12 year olds who actually act like that, not for reasonably mature young adults. I can't believe I wasted an hour and a half listening to this stupid book. I could've been listening to something more interesting. The girl in this book is really depressing actually. It's stupid!!!!! If I could've taken some stars away, I would have because it wasn't even worth the one I gave it!

Love it !

I love this series I have already read the entire book series but I love reading it and listening to it on audible helps me a lot because I have dyslexia. But I also love how if the narrator is good it gives a voice and picture to the story makes it almost come to life I hope the next book come available soon!!! Can't wait I've reread this series about 3 times!

Cliffhanger

I really loved this story. It's so much deeper and more unique than the typical romance. I only listen to books that evoke emotion and are more than surface deep. This is one of those books but I hate when a only one book of a series is on audible. I won't read the second book, but I will wait for it on audible.

5 Platypires

If you could sum up Choosing You in three words, what would they be?

Holy fecking awesome-pants

What did you like best about this story?

I loved how, despite everything Jade has been through - she isn't a victim. She's so unbelievably strong, and a lot of her past reminds me of my own. To see how she handled things, it was truly inspiring.

What does Ashley Klanac bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The way she voices the characters. I read this as both an ebook and listened as an audio, and I very much enjoyed reading along with her. Hell, I bought this audiobook just because she narrated it.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did cry. There are feels. It's emotional. And it's definitely all the drama.

Any additional comments?

Highly recommend this book. Both the audio and ebook versions are fantastic.

I loved choosing you!

Aghh....where to begin. First off, I absolutely loved this book and couldn't get enough of Garret and came to love Jade as well. But the ending made me feel tons of emotions! Excitement, anticipation but also frustration! I have to know what happens next! I am glad that there is other books to let me know this but then I look and see there is 7 other books!!? Aghh. That's great but also so frustrating because it will take me so long to find out everything I need to know.

All in all thou...this book was amazing! I definitely recommend it and would read it again! I just wish that they had some of the other books on audible besides just the first book.

Can't wait to read more about Garret and Jade!

☆☆☆☆☆ 5 Sweetest Love☆☆☆☆☆

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, because the narrator captured the character the best way one person can.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Garrett, is one of my top 5 favorite book boyfriend. He is sweet, kind, caring, good looking and very much a romantic.

Which scene was your favorite?

I don't really have a favorite. I did enjoy the their running time together and swimming time. They always challenge each other and what was part of their chemistry.

Any additional comments?

Choosing You is the very first book in the Jade Series, that I read a little over a year ago. The Jade Series is one of my favorite series about a young couple who live for each other. Full of love, even with all the complication that surrounds them.

Listening to the Audio book brought back all the memories on why I love the book so much. It felt like only yesterday when my sister shared the book with me and I fell in love with the story. The narrator of the book was not bad at all. She did a great job with separating each character in how she reads and flows with the story.

After listening to this audio book for two days, in between reading other books… I fell in love with Jade and Garrett’s story all over again. I am actually really excited for Audio book two to come out, so I’ll be able to relive the 2nd book of this series all over again.

I am now on Book Boyfriend Garrett Kensington withdrawals. I need audio book 2 to come out quick.
