It provides a fascinating glimpse into an alternate route for choice-based popular fiction if it had caught on like the official Choose Your Own Adventure series did in the 70's/80’s.

Differences between Consider the Consequences! approach and the standards later set by CYOA books:

1. Third person instead of second person viewpoint. Instead of becoming the protagonist, the reader is making choices for a separate character.
2. Instead of one protagonist, it follows three, each getting their own third of the book, and their possible stories and relationships overlap in a love triangle.
3. Not aimed at kids and doesn't draw on fantasy subject matter, instead presenting "real-life" adult dilemmas like whether to refuse the responsible but boring suitor you parents favor or whether to risk your job by reporting on your boss' financial shenanigans.
