Friend's Choice Romance and Tears by Tunmbi Olaleye is about a young high school teacher Reba who doesn't always make the best choices when it comes to men and her life. She feels she always needs to have a man which leads her down a dark road, and the loss of almost everything, except her two best friends who in my opinion aren't very good friends.I found this novella to be amusing with an easy to follow storyline. I found myself quickly turning pages and within a few hours I had completed the book. The author carefully crafted each character using dialogue and vibrant descriptions bringing them to life. I also found myself laughing at the using of some of the author's anecdotes and descriptions as they are unlike anything I have ever heard or read; he has his own style.  The verb usage in this novella is off, but even so the plot is clear and the story designed well enough that it's a wonderful read, and aside from wanting to rearrange the words I found his verb usage to have a whimsical quality which drew me further into the book. Friend's choice is a romance of sorts as well as a bit of a fairy tale, and Olaleye did a remarkable job.I recommend this book for romantics and chick flick lovers everywhere!
