Reviews for Complicated Choices

 

​

 

"A teenager finds untapped strength to keep her family together in Nyman's YA novel....The novel is narrated by Claire, a plucky, smart-mouthed adolescent. She is a wonderful creation, a resolute fighter not only for Harry, but also for her mother, whom she has good reason to hate. She is more mature than many of the supposed grown-ups she encounters while dealing with the insecurities and anger that are part of adolescence...
A wise and well-plotted novel of embattled adolescence graced with a memorable hero."

​

"A story about following our dreams when they seem impossibly far away, Complicated Choices is a perfect blend of drama, humor, and warmth. Boasting a cast of loyal friends and difficult family members, the story highlights how far we’re willing to go for the ones we love. As Claire balances where she’s going in the world with where she’s been, steady relationships are often the only thing keeping her grounded. Realistic interactions allow readers to feel connected to the characters and invested in their relationships. With heartfelt authenticity, Risa Nyman fully captures the fierce sense of forward-thinking independence typical of early adulthood, embodied by a resilient young girl."

"Complicated Choices by Risa Nyman is an emotional story that hit home for me on so many levels. This book will pull on your heartstrings, will leave you in awe and will leave you thinking about any teenager that is out there going through similar situations! This story is about choices of a seventeen-year-old young woman, her self-discovery, family drama, responsibility, many challenges, overall teenage drama, issues, secrets, dramatic developments, and most of all...... heartwarming moments.!"
