I gave this book 3 stars because of the tragedy that happens. There might be spoilers in this review!
Harper has only known one thing: Marines. Jarheads. and Sir. She has grown up motherless, and her dad the commanding officer in North Carolina at a Marines camp. She finally turns 18 and moves across the country to San Diego to attend SDSU. There she becomes fast friends with her new roommate, and Harper attends her first ever party. She falls for not just Brandon the Underground MMA fighter but her roommates brother Chance. She loves both of them, but can only see her self with one of them for the long haul.
I am not going to go into what the tragedy is, and what happens in the book. I read some of the reviews that were given to this book. I have to admit, I was skeptical to read this book because of the amount of negative reviews, but that being said. I read it anyways. I am glad that I did. Not only did Molly have reason to do what she did with the characters, but she give the readers some piece of mind in the end. I don't think that this book deserves 1 star at all. It is a well written book with a great flow. I didn't once feel that Molly strayed from the story line. She didn't add more drama to the drama that was already going on. I highly recommend this book, you will cry, you will get pissed off, and you will find that you love every single one of the flaws that arise in the story.

If Goodreads let you do 2.5 stars that would be a more accurate. The book kind of dragged on in places.
I loved this book! although I cried a broken hearted cry! I have to say I loved the characters and he writing if this book.
While the writing style comes off a bit juvenile, I couldn't put this book down. Great YA novel.
This book drove me crazy!! What a bitch! I wanted it to be chase...& then they killed him off! What a joke! What's even worse I still wasn't anywhere near the end! The rest if the book dragged on!! So pathetic! Grrr!
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by Molly. It was however the first I’d bought but I’d put off reading it because from what I’d heard, I had a feeling I wasn’t going to like this book. But my roommate said it was good so I decided to finally give in & read it after all this time. I was both right & wrong about my initial thoughts for this book.
First, I have to say I really am not a fan of love triangles, especially when I love both guys. That is definitely true for this book because from the start I loved both Chase & Brandon. So I was already on edge trying to figure out how this would end & how I would feel. That’s where things take a turn. That twist in the middle…I did not like one bit. Usually when a book brings such emotions out in me I praise it, this time I didn’t want to feel those emotions. I still couldn’t get past it the rest of the book. That was not even close to how I wanted things to end. Yes, there was some kind of closure on this story, but it’s not what I wanted, nor was it how. I really think that had that triangle not been a part of this plot, or it had been someone other than Chase & Brandon, I would have loved this book so much more.
Generally speaking, I loved Harper & I thought she was a great character. I really enjoyed experiencing everything through her eyes, but there were moments I wanted to shake her. Things I wanted her to do differently. I loved Chase, not even ashamed to say Team Chase. He was that perfect mix of bad boy & prince charming. He’s that guy you know is a keeper because he made decisions because he wanted Harper to be endgame. That being said, I couldn’t help but love Brandon too. He really was a great guy & I can’t fault him that I just happened to love Chase a bit more. I thought every other character in this book was perfect & they were all part of a family I would have loved to be a part of as well. I just wanted a different outcome.
I’m equal parts scared & anxious to read Stealing Harper to hopefully get a bit more of closure. I want to see inside Chase’s head but after that I’m not sure how excited I’d be to read another book by Molly if it had a love triangle. After what this book did to me, I don’t think I want that experience again.

This was a fun, emotional read. Harper is torn between "2 epic loves" (cough cough I'm sensing a TVD reference here) which always makes for an entertaining story. I actually liked the way the love triangle turned out, which rarely happens for me, so I enjoyed this book. Not enough to read the sequel but enough that I would recommend it.
Absolutely amazing! OMG this is the most heart breaking and emotional story that I have read in a very long time. There are so many twists to this story and true love prevails in more ways than one! Harper is an extremely lucky girl but goes through more heart ache than anyone should have to go through in order to find her place and to be with the one she loves. I cannot give any more away but this is a book that you are going to want a full box of kleenex sitting beside you while you read!!
Harper has lived a life in the military. But the funny thing she isn't in the military, her father is. So she lived on a base, was homeschooled on the base, and had somewhat a life on the base. As you may have guessed she hated it. So she decides to go to college on the other side of the country. When she gets there she has the time of her life. She finds herself in love with two guys, hanging out with new best friend/ roommate, and pregnant after a one night stand.... yeah you read that right... PREGNANT.
Chase is in love with Harper but doesn't want to ruin it. He becomes her a good friend that makes her feel uncomfortable by loving her from a distance. Which if it was me, I would totally be uncomfortable and not know what to do with him. I mean you have this guy that stares at you and basically undresses you with his eyes... okay maybe I would give in :)
This was hands down one of the best romance novels I have read. If you want a book that wants you wanting more this book is for you. If you want something that makes you feel like you are a fly on the wall in their lives, this book is for you! I couldn't wait to start her next book so I went straight to Amazon and bought them all for my kindle... LOL. I highly recommend them to anyone that wants to read a book that will make you laugh, cry, and scream all in one chapter.
