Athena's Choice is a very unique book. I enjoyed Athena's Choice a lot more than I thought I would. There was a pandemic that caused men to become extinct. A research project has been going on for 50 years to bring back men. There is a problem with the project and Athena is brought in to help find out who is responsible? Why was Athena chosen?

I was very interested in this book from the beginning. Athena's choice is about Athena finding out who is sabotaging the genome project, as well as both sides of if men should be brought back or not.

Thank you NetGalley and Think Books for the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

The year is 2099, and the world Athena lives in might be mistaken for another planet. But, we have not left Earth, it is just that much has changed. Besides technological advances which you would expect, there is also the fact that men no longer exist. A virus spread by terrorists killed them all while sparing most of the women. The world is peaceful, harmonious, and thriving, except for the lonely hearts who want to bring back men.
When the genome being studied to bring the male species back is stolen, Athena is at the heart of the mystery. Athena is nineteen, a dreamer, and an artist, but when Captain Bell accuses her of being the thief, she cannot imagine why. It seems that Athena knows more than she even realizes. She begins to assist Captain Bell, but it is her dreams that might provide much-needed answers.
Well holy what did I just read. I loved almost everything about this book. From the glimpses, we got of life in the future to Athena and her BFF, Nomi, and the growing friendship with Captain Bell. Ultimately, we learn why the genome was stolen, and even though we get answers, Athena is left with a life-changing decision.
How Athena's Choice did not get noticed by my super book sleuthing radar is a mystery. One that 274 engaging pages later, is solved. A very good read that made a rainy morning darn tolerable.
