“People fall in and out of love all the time, and sometimes people have numerous loves throughout their lives. But you have two epic loves and no matter who you were with, I don’t think you’d ever get over or forget the other.”
Taking Chances was one of the most gut-wrenching, heart-felt and beautiful love stories that I’ve ever had the pleasure to read. My heart was ripped out of my chest, stomped on once or twice and then placed back inside to beat with love for these fabulous characters.
This is not a hearts & flowers feel good type of romance. It is real, raw, f’ed up and extremely emotional - for both the characters and me. There is content within the story that I personally don’t agree with (infidelity, love triangles) and there are parts that I think could have been edited a little better, but guess what...I absolutely couldn’t care less! This book evoked such a visceral response and extreme emotion from me, and that made any doubts or issues that I had seem extremely inconsequential. I loved these characters and, while I may not agree with every decision made by them, I understand that they were necessary and crucial to the story.
“No. I don't deserve you either. You need someone who will cherish you, protect you and take care of you. Someone that realizes they'd never be able to find another you in the world, no matter how hard they looked.”
When all was said & done, the story ended exactly the way I wanted it to. I just did not expect the journey to take so many twists & turns, or to be so painful. However, every tear that I shed, every tissue that I needed and every single hour of sleep that I lost was so entirely worth it. I would not trade this reading experience for anything in the world and I just hope that every single person who reads Taking Chances, will fall as absolutely in love with it as I did. Molly McAdams simply took my breath away with this story, and has firmly cemented her spot on my must read author list!
