Still, with persistence, you might find one or two endings that downright satisfy - even if it means Elle drives off into the sunset alone.… (more)

Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda is an entertaining interactive romantic comedy that engages the reader to step into the shoes of Elle Masters as she journeys down the path of romance in search of elusive true love. The author sets up every chapter with romantic situations that you as Elle gets herself into only to have to choose between two intriguing steps to see how the situation ends. Hmmm ... which option would you choose? How will it work out for Elle? Will she find romance and true love?

Author Tara Lee Reed weaves an intriguing interactive romantic comedy that easily draws the reader into the variety of romantic situations that she sets up. It feels like the reader is given a romantic challenge with a variety of dating dilemmas and predicaments to figure out just ow well they know the tricky thing called love. Being an inquisitive person, I found myself not be able to settle for picking just one of the options at the end of each chapter, oh no not me, I had to go back and find out how the situation would end if I had picked the other option. Well done Ms. Reed, not only is this a brilliant way to get your readers to become completely invested in undertaking the romantic challenge, but to also get them to wonder and question "what if I had chosen the other option?," and then get them to go back and select the other ending!

Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda is a fun romantic comedy with a new twist, give this one a chance, you won't be disappointed!
