Review
Choco, also known as Choke, can be all talk with little bite. Choco is stuck in her daily routines day in and day out, until the new consultant, Johnny, comes in. Now her life is turned upside down for better or for worse.
Choco encourages her best friend, Carlos, and her cousin, Julia, to start dating. Choco thinks it's a good idea until a kiss brings desirable feelings. Feelings she's not willing to have or show.
Choco has insecurities, just like any other girl, except if shes not careful she could risk something truly dear to her. Johnny, the consultant, helps Choco realize she can be beautiful by helping her with a makeover and encouraging her to have a backbone.
Choco goes with the makeover until times get rocky for her family's Filipino restaurant. Too much is changing at once. Johnny is trying to change the restaurant and menu. Customers and employees are not happy.
Choco finally opens her eyes to what truly is going on around her. She's no longer blinded, but is it too late to fix the mess that's been made?
The characters in this story are well written. Each have their own distinguishing personalities that add meaning to the story. Some are more connected to each other than they all realize.
Each time I tried to guess what would happen next or I would know the characters next move, something else would happen. The story kept me on my toes trying to figure out how it'd progress.
I truly enjoyed reading Claiming Carlos.
