It is hard to review this without giving away any spoilers。 As you know from the end of the last book, Mallory was left with a choice between spending her break with Noah, who she just began dating, or going to Shanghai with Harry, her ex boyfriend。 Most people have a very strong opinion about who they want Mallory to choose。 The choice isn’t easy for her, but she isn’t left with much time to mull over her decision and weigh the pros and cons。 I think this makes it a more natural choice and one It is hard to review this without giving away any spoilers。 As you know from the end of the last book, Mallory was left with a choice between spending her break with Noah, who she just began dating, or going to Shanghai with Harry, her ex boyfriend。 Most people have a very strong opinion about who they want Mallory to choose。 The choice isn’t easy for her, but she isn’t left with much time to mull over her decision and weigh the pros and cons。 I think this makes it a more natural choice and one she really wanted。Of course we get more of Mohammed, who I absolutely love as a character。 The more the book goes on, the more I can’t decide whether he is the gay best friend without being gay, or is he the Pacey (Dawson’s Creek) of the group。 Either way I love him and look forward to his relationship with Naomi being explored more。Olivia is definitely making a comeback and becoming a likable character and I am here for it! On the other hand, I wish Mal’s parents stayed in America because I really don’t like them。 I do have a feeling they aren’t going to stay together (not a spoiler just my guess) but Mal’s mom was really irritating。 。。。more
Trisha Sony,
This was my fave book of the series so far, which fellow #teamnoah shippers will feel after reading! This book involved a lot of change for our girl Mallory - with her parents being in London, with Noah, with Harry。 I feel like she has grown from earlier books and is standing by her decisions。 #teamnoah fans will LOVE the steam in this book! Woohoo! The book ends with some relatively major conflict, and the reader is left wondering how book 8 will sort it all out。
Nicki Nidelkoff,
So good, and it of course ends on a cliff hanger, because it’s Jillian Dodd。 What else did you expect? I loved this book the best out of all of this series, but I also got a new villain out of it。
Beth Knight,
Finally Mallory makes her choice and I'm happy with it! We finally get her parents to London and a bunch of fun stuff happens too! Wink! Wink! The book ends on a weird cliffy, like I do not understand what is going on with Mr。 James, at all, like what is his problem? I feel there is a story waiting to be told。 So are you #teamharry or #teamnoah? Bring on book 8! Finally Mallory makes her choice and I'm happy with it!

Finally!!!!! This is what I’ve been waiting for, but in true Jillian style I’m left with my mouth wide open。 Which choice will Mallory make? You’ll have to read it to find out。

“Let yourself fall。”“So, you?”“So, I’ll catch you。”Wow … I’m still swooning over the latest gem in the brilliant London Prep series that continues to steal my heart。 Dodd knocks it out of the park with The Choice, another adorably charming and cleverly written saga of first love and all its butterfly feels。 I couldn’t help but root for the heroine to finally choose her first love, her true love, the kind that’s as unforgettable and as beautiful as this breathtaking book and series。The beautiful “Let yourself fall。”“So, you?”“So, I’ll catch you。”Wow … I’m still swooning over the latest gem in the brilliant London Prep series that continues to steal my heart。 Dodd knocks it out of the park with The Choice, another adorably charming and cleverly written saga of first love and all its butterfly feels。 I couldn’t help but root for the heroine to finally choose her first love, her true love, the kind that’s as unforgettable and as beautiful as this breathtaking book and series。The beautiful coming-of-age saga continues in The Choice where readers finally get the answer we’ve been craving since book one。 Mallory has taken us on a front side roller coaster into her world and oh what a magical ride it’s been! The “Will she do it?” end to the last book was the sweetest torture but Mallory finally chooses who and what is right for her。 Team Noah and Team Harry … she really can’t go wrong but if you’re like me, you definitely have a favorite hero in mind。 Oh how I adore the whole London Prep crew: Mallory, Harry, and Noah and his family hold a special place in my heart。 The Choice is simply magical … a swooningly romantic read that is unputdownable。 In compelling prose that reads like an intimate diary, Dodd slays this friends to lovers, new adult romance with its 90s vibes that wholeheartedly captives from beginning to end。 This author is a master storyteller, a magician, frankly, who made me fall in love with two heroes but one I loved more。 London Prep is a world I want to live in with characters that continue to capture my heart。 I can’t wait to continue my journey in the next novel。💋💋💋💋💋💋 swooningly romantic kisses ➡️ https://amzn。to/3FdTU8VReviewed on behalf of Bookalicious Babes Blog 。。。more

I had a feeling that the meet and greet wasn’t going to be sunshine and rainbows。 STILLMal has finally made up her mind and feeling good。 She is thrilled and then not so much about the parents finally moving to London。 This relationship with Noah is intense and beautiful。 Now let’s see how we all recover from brunch。
Sierra,
The best part is Mallory FINALLY chose!!!!…。 and chose right I might add!I won’t lie, the first part of the book was a little aggravating because even though she chose the someone everyone wants, she was still so focused on the person she didn’t choose & even asked for time! It wasn’t until toward the end that Mallory finally gave the person she chose her full focus, time, & heart。 I honestly felt her first date & future plans was a little rushed。 She went from having panic attacks to literally The best part is Mallory FINALLY chose!!!!…。 and chose right I might add!I won’t lie, the first part of the book was a little aggravating because even though she chose the someone everyone wants, she was still so focused on the person she didn’t choose & even asked for time! It wasn’t until toward the end that Mallory finally gave the person she chose her full focus, time, & heart。 I honestly felt her first date & future plans was a little rushed。 She went from having panic attacks to literally 3 days later planning her forever future。 She’s so wishy washy。 Makes me wonder if she’ll still feel this way come Sunday when she sees someone come home & how that will be。 I think he will try to win her back。 Especially now after that cliffhanger! *pssst: totally knew that was gonna happen btw。 They are so pro Harry。 Dear Noah never stood a chance。* I do hope that things progress a little faster and more happens in the next book。 We’re on book 7 and only a month or two into their lives。 So for Jillian, it is a little slow。 Where by book 7, the Keatyn series was already completed。 & so much happened。 This one wasn’t as drama filled & I didn’t get the connection that Noah & Mal had that was absolute fire before。 That being said, it was very well written, kept my attention, + I did really enjoy it。 It was just lacking a little from the momentum of the rest of the series for me。 I still very much love this series & would definitely recommend。 I am so ready to see what happens in The Club! November ‘23! This cover though was my absolute favorite! So beautiful!CW: underage drinking, intimate scene (but it wasn’t descriptive but not fade to black, tastefully done) 。。。more

Robin Powers,
I am in shock! What in the world? Good and angsty with lots of feels that will have you swooning。 Noah has really stepped up his game and has those devoted moves down。 Harry has really grown a ton from book one。 Pretty impressive。 And Mallory…she finally seems like she’s made a decision and sticking to it。 But then there’s that ending! I’m caught up in my lovey dovey feelings and the rug was pulled out from under me! I think I need some trauma therapy。
Hayley,
I don’t normally highlight while reading but I did with this book。 I wanted to see how Jillian would leave us hanging but I also wasn’t ready to be finished with this book。 I thought book 6’s cliffhanger was a doozy but this one may be the worst one yet。
Kayla Morán,
It’s so great to see Mallory really stepping into her own and a life in London! She’s making genuine friendships with Olivia and Naomi and she’s starting to listen to what she really wants。 It’s crazy how it’s only October now but she has grown so much and I love seeing this Mallory。 I love her friendshup with Mohammed and it’s so fun to see her mom embrace him and their shopping day。 Noah is truly swoonworthy now, we get to see their relationship deepen and Mallory decides he’s the one for her。 It’s so great to see Mallory really stepping into her own and a life in London!

I need the next book stat。 I know my jaw was on the floor by what happened at the luncheon。 Who talks like that in their junior year of high school? 。。。more
Laurel Cavender,
I loved this book! It was a perfect a balance of fun, family, friends, love, and growth。 It was everything I was waiting for! There is a small cliffhanger at the end, and I have no idea where the next book will go。 I am excited to see!

This series is just so good。 I am so very Team Noah all the way and while I get is mad at Mallory, he makes it all worth while。 I cannot wait for more。

Wow。 I loved this one。 So far my favorite of the whole series!
