Gave me some cross country nostalgia
This was super cute. I loved that it took place in 2003 and all the throwbacks. It was cheesy and sweet. Also as a former cross country runner it made me really miss those days!

I somehow missed that this was going to be. throwback to 2003. I was mildly amused by all the references my "older" self caught and actually understood. (I say older...meaning older than Nic but young enough to appreciate the pop references.)
Chasing Love is a cute story. Its definitely a young adult story. It's told from the heroine's POV so doubt filled teenage musings are a requisite.
I had a bit of trouble getting into the book because the recording comes off a bit tinny with an almost echo. I'm not sure how or why but it drove me nuts. I was also unused to this particular narrator's style. There were lots of pauses where it seemed like it wasn't necessary.
Overall, it was a cute story.

What a throwback!
I listened to the audio of this one and had to pause and go back when I heard mention of Blockbuster!
So many of the references in this book were relatable! Especially not having a cell phone.
I really enjoyed Nicole and Amy’s friendship throughout the book. I just wish we had more Chase!

This was such a cute lighthearted read!
I love the inclusion of sport within a book and I felt it helped Nicole grow as a character, from professional wall flower to cross country runner. I personally loved Nicole's growth from beginning to end. I also connected with her straight away.
Now I'm a sucker for a good love triangle, especially when it's done well. I have to admit I had mixed feelings about this triangle between Nicole, Chase and Neal. I think it's because I picked the type of guy Neal was from the get go and he is your classic trashy teenage boy. Whereas, I loved Chase from the very first encounter between Chase and Nicole.
There were times I was reading going 'aww this is the cutest thing ever', 'I never want to stop reading'. Then there were times I wanted to shake some sense into Nicole and was in anguish due to her thoughts on good old Neal.
Chase and Nicole's friend Amy were probably my two favourite characters, and because of that I wish there was more of Amy throughout the book. Not saying that Amy wasn't in the book a lot, but I loved her character so much I just wanted more.
Thank you very much to the Createspace Independent Publishing Platform for providing me with a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Kayla for for sending me an advanced copy of Chasing Love.
I really enjoyed all of the books in this series, but this one was definitely my favorite of the three.
I adore all of the 90s and early 2000s references in this series. They bring back so many memories.
I also loved the main characters in this story. The characters Kayla creates just seem so real and you end up rooting for them throughout the story.
I also love that even though all three books are set in the same universe and some characters carry over into the others, you can definitely read any of them as stand alones.
My only real critique with Chasing Love is that a couple times a chapter would end and at the beginning of the next chapter something had happened in between the two and it really wasn't made clear what had exactly happened. The times that happened, it did cause me to stop reading and go back to make sure I hadn't actually missed something.
