You know those mobile apps targeted for teens and young adults where you're given the option to choose between going on a date with a gorgeous Italian exchange student or stay in and study for your exam tomorrow? And, of course, it's not real life so you end up choosing that date, and probably the rest of the more "daring" options. This is basically like those apps, but in the form of a book.
In this book, Marie Phillips does give you ways in order to make the worst decisions, which will give you further problems in life. Choose properly, you might just find yourself buying a ticket on a whim without even considering that you have not packed any luggage. Or you might find yourself stuck on a loophole between choices, and would have to go back to a few last options in order to get unstuck.
What I dislike most though is when there simply aren't proper options, and you are asked to toss a coin. This is when life plays its part. This is when you cannot make the decision. This is when you are asked to leave it up to fate—unless, of course, you're the kind of person who would deliberately go against fate.
But hey, if you're curious, bored, and have no phone at hand, this book might give you a bit of fun.

This could have been good. COULD have. I was a huge fan of choose your own adventure books as a kid. I'd go back to the beginning and read then again and again, making different choices. They were fun. This was just a farce. Maybe intentionally? Maybe not? Farce only works when you're sure the author isn't genuinely out to ridicule everything. This feels more like ridicule than farce. Extra star for the idea. I'd try another choose your own adventure for adults though. Just not by this author.
