Summary
Josie has been through things most people can't even imagine and she's given up hope of being able to find a pack with love. Cam, Ben, and Theo have given up finding an omega for their pack in part due to how horrible omegas are treated by society. When they're paired together by the resistance, they both may have found what they're looking for.

Thoughts
The best omegaverse I've read in a while in terms of overall storytelling. This book was very dark, but there's something about the writing and the characters that kept me hooked. I adored the way the guys always put Josie's feelings ahead of their own and they spent as much time as needed to make her feel secure. The overarching plot about the government and the resistance's fight against it was very detailed and seamlessly integrated. What a crazy cliffhanger though.

FMM, omegaverse, Why Choose?, explicit, plus size heroine, trauma, nesting, knotting, cliffhanger

You know ....I downloaded this book seeing a small passage on TikTok. I managed to read a 500 some page novel in under 24 hours.

This book at times reads very Wattpad-y and could have used another edit or two for being so repetitive, like we get it Josie has self-esteem issues, but beyond that it's a really solid romance book with a sci-fi/dystopian subplot that kept me glued to my seat.

Onto the next one!

This story of healing and giving love a second change is an absolute heart tugger and IM SO EXCITED FOR BOOK TWO!
You can not help but fall in love with all of Pack Ashwood because they just have so much love to give to Josie and she deserves every drop of it. 
The driving scene is so funny! 
I can’t wait for more
