My Choice is You by Mel Dau
A Review By: LC
Covina Hurley has lived a privileged life as the daughter of a retired major league baseball player. With privilege comes shelter, and with shelter comes ignorance to many life experiences. When she makes the choice to open herself up to new experiences, she never thought that love would be one of them. Will her new life experiences be damaging to who she is as a person, or will it grow her in ways that she never thought were possible? Will it do both?
Jasper Chance is not willing to take a chance on love. The only love he has is for his family, friends, and business. He’s made the choice to live his life how he sees fits without having to answer to anyone. He’s made his choice, but his heart wants to make another. Will the heart’s choice outweigh his, or will both choices eventually align to provide a happiness he didn’t realize he wanted?
There’s a lesson to be learned about choices. Find out in My Choice Is You.

Girls (on the spectrum) need love too.
After the first chapter, I was intrigued. This was such a delightful read. Covina is on the high end of the autism spectrum, but with the love and support of her Grammie, she has blossomed into a beautiful adult. She now wants to experience living away from home, and then enters her new roommate and her big brother, Jasper, who catches Covina's eye. He is just as smitten with her. These two fall into a world wind romance with tough life lessons along the way, along with people not wanting to see them succeed due to Covie being on the spectrum. This story is full of laughable moments with just enough of spice.
