Taking Chances

3.36 AVERAGE


This book dragged on forever!! I'm still trying to figure out the appeal of any of the characters other than Brandon. He was the only one who seemed to be given some sort of personality but even that made me mad when he was so cool with the whole cheating/baby situation.
emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Taking Chances was a breath of fresh air compared to my last two reads before it, which I did not enjoy very much. I liked Brandon a lot but loved Chase. I cried so hard! always weird to have such strong emotions over imaginary people, but here I am !! Did not think I was a fan of Love triangles, but Harper, Chase and Brandon have changed my heart on that matter. I highly recommend Taking Chances for romance lovers out there. 

Such a tear jerker! I say this is my new favorite but this book has some serious twists and turns and lots of OMG moments. It was such an amazing story well written everything was perfect...I just need to find my own BRANDON and chase :) <3

I had mixed feelings about this book. I didn't particularly care for the beginning and I hate what happened to Chase. I hate that Harper had to grow up with a dad who never really cared and with guys from the military who treated her like a sister. I felt bad when one of them went after her and tried to get with her and messed up a friendship. I loved Brandon and how he fought to keep Harper and how he wanted to be a dad so bad. I thought this book dragged out and I lost interest quickly. 3 stars.

Finally I've finished it!
It was nice at the beginning but then I started to hate it.
Too much sugar, too many absurd things that would take me forever to talk about them.
If there something I would save from this book, it would be Brandon with no doubts.

This book was not as good as people said. Everyone in the book was way too okay with all of the drama that unfolded. I know it is fiction, but reactions to events should be realistic. I knew what was going to happen before it happened. I also thought it was a little too long.

Insane that this is the 4th time I’ve read this in my life. This time to see if it’s as good as I thought it was in highschool.

Harper is so cringe, I hate the way the author describes how each character looks. Quite a bit of cringe writing but also not the worst I’ve read?

Brandon and books like this are the reason I wanted a baby and marriage so young and the reason my expectations of a boyfriend and relationship were so high lol

Probably will re read her other books for nostalgia. They still make me a bit depressed

Ug I don't know how I feel about this. Part of me thinks that if I knew in advance how this was going to go down that I would have avoided it like the plague. But at the same time. I enjoyed it. So conflicted.

I'm not sure what to say...I started this book, but then the beginning was so hard to read that I put it down for a day. However, once I got to the midway point, it got (a little too dramatically) intense. An odd combination of book: Thoughtless and book: Beautiful Disaster. Too much angst.
