Toxic Love is a "Choose Your Own Adventure" type story. At the beginning, we meet Chloe Parikh, an actress on a temporary work visa in Las Vegas. Only a few years old when the Tox75 poison was released, Chloe hasn't been outside in twenty years. When her helmet is cracked while skydiving to her new job in Vegas, Chloe discovers that she is one of a very small percentage immune to Tox75. Contacted by GenFriends, Chloe is given the opportunity to receive a permanent visa that would allow her to stay in Vegas, with the stipulation that she join the GenFriends program and breed children with other Immunes.
This is where the story first branches, and you have the opportunity to help decide Chloe's story. Does she stay in Vegas and join GenFriends? Doe she refuse and try to find a way to stay in Vegas? Does she go back to her Ex in Oklahoma City? This is a fun and interesting story that explores a civilization shrouded by poisoned air, with only a few lucky people able to go outside. Well-written with likeable characters, I immediately found myself rooting for Chloe and wanting her to be happy. None of the story paths lead to an unhappy ending, though some endings are obviously better than others. The sections flow together well, so that it's easy to follow the different paths without it feeling disjointed. I was very happy with this book and the different paths available, and it was fun to see how one decision can completely change the live of the character... Often for the better!
