1 heroine... 9 potential heroes... 10 unique endings.
After a humiliating divorce, Penelope is about to try her luck in the dating world. Luckily, she has her two best friends to help her face the singles scene.
Laura, single and loving life, wants to bring Penelope to the club scene. Drink. Dance. Have fun. Nothing serious. Her married friend, Shannon, on the other hand, wants to set Penelope up with a guy from her husband's legal firm insisting he's perfect for Penelope.
Should Penelope go on the blind date? Or hit the clubs?
You, the reader, will make choices, and you will determine which kind of romance Penelope gets. From friends-to-lovers, enemies-to-lovers, strangers-to-lovers, a pairing dominant to be his submissive, even story line with a surprise baby! you'll find a wide range of romantic adventures. Most are happy endings, however - as in life - things don't always work out.
But one of the best parts about Penelope's Paths...When you get to the end, you can go back to the beginning, make different choices, and enjoy a different story.
(Each path ranges in length from 14k to 40k.)

What is an Interactive Romance?
Okay - so, an "Interactive Romance" (or any "Interactive" book) is one where the reader is an active participant in choosing the Hero or Heroine's story.
These kinds of books start out with a character and world introducing chapter. At the end of the chapter, the reader needs to make a choice between 2 (or 3) options. (In my case, only 2 choices per 'junction'.)
In the case of digital books, this is done via links embedded into the eBook, and the reader will tap the link they are interested in pursuing. In the case of a paperback, the reader will have to turn a specific page in the book.
Also, the paths usually have a few choices to get to an end.
I think to best illustrate the 'structure' of this book, a graphic will help. CLICK HERE to see the "Map" of Penelope's Paths.
If you read the Choose Your Own Adventure books back from the 80s and 90s, then you're familiar with this concept, however MY What If Series is written in 1st person (not 2nd) and the stories are for Adult readers.
