I think a second book should be made about certain things that happened in the middle of the book and that should all be a dream. it would be about what would have happened if that didn't happen in the middle of the book. I cried so hard after the middle of the book.

An amazing book !!!! So many strong emotions reading this !! Frustrating , Heartwarming, Gut-wrenching !! It broke my heart ,had me sobbing like a baby and laughing loud !! I loved the roller coaster of emotions I felt reading this , I loved the happily ever after !! Not enough words can describe the work of Art !!!

Wow...very angsty...tear jerker!

I definitely should have DNFd this book but I tried so hard to get through. Full of just bad and stupid decisions and pretty much 90% of the book could have just been avoided if these college kids were actually smart enough to do the right thing.

i think this is the first ever book that made me cry. like whyyy? haha #whitegirlbawling.

Good book, story line was good and the characters well developed. Enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to many of my friends and family.
With that said, very unhappy with the lack of communication from the author about reading order for this book and the ones that follow. In my personal opinion this book plus the Stealing Harper book should have been combined into one book with changes in point of view, as was done in other books. I think it would have made for a better read and then you wouldn't have to read the entire story again, just from another view point, in the next book.
Also, the Taking Chances and Forgiving lies series should be one series as they end up coming together in Trusting Liam. I was very unhappy to start Trusting Liam only to find out that I needed to read the Forgiving Lies series to get the full back ground on one of the characters. For any one who hasn't read either of these series I have listed the reading order below.

Taking Chances
Stealing Harper (same story as Taking Chances, just from Chase point of view)
Forgiving Lies
Deceiving Lies
Changing Everything (basically a love story with no real danger or action, unlike the other stories)
Trusting Liam



I will try not to ruin the book for anyone, but beware of spoilers just in case. Ok, I liked the premise behind this book. I liked most of the plot, the humor, and the characters. But come on, people! This is more soap opera than I was wanting, for sure. And none of this would ever happen in real life! Why did everyone love Harper so much? I don't get it; she was a cheater, oblivious, annoying girl! I wanted to slap her numerous times. Brandon deserved much better and poor Chase! Geez. I'm pretty sure if I knew a girl that did all that Harper did, I would give her a piece of my mind. This book could have been half as long and a million times better. I wanted to like it so bad, I really did! But I kept finding myself rolling my eyes and could not wait to finish it. The writing was only okay, and there were so many things I wanted to read about but that got skimmed over. Seriously, by the time I finished, I was more than ready to be done. Glad I read it, but not the best book out there.

Too unrealistic for me. I can't see any of this happening in reality which generally doesn't bother me but this time it was too much.

I find myself wanting to smack some sense into these kids.

This book was: Amazingly...

Great
Sad
Emotional
Heartbreaking
Joyous

Every emotion I could think of this book had, I was mad at it(and had to read 2 books in-between) but always came back to read more it also made me happy too.
