omg!! Such a good book!! Lots of tissues ladies!!

I plan on starting this weekend. Not sure if I'll be able to start tomorrow or if it will be Sunday.

I've read this one a few years ago and I will be checking the threads too!

I'm finishing up a library book and then promise to start! Didn't get to read at all this weekend.

I started this today and read the first four chapters. I think I'm going to enjoy this book, but I have a feeling already that I will need a lot of tissues.

(view spoiler)[ I don't know what to think of Chase yet. Especially with him being so possessive of her and he barely knows her. (hide spoiler)]

I read this one a few years ago, but it is one that most definitely sticks with you!!

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[This book is so drama filled. Seriously and I'm only on Ch. 4! I don't like Chase or Brandon. I'm scared where this is going with that love triangle. Hoping it all goes away and she ends up with Carter. (hide spoiler)]

I don't remember where I am but (view spoiler)[I've been kind of skimming because this book is making me sick to my stomach. I'm at the point where she's figuring out she's pregnant with Chase's baby and I want to hurl. I think I might need to DNF this. I want to know what happens, but I don't know if I can stomach it. It's making me mad. (hide spoiler)]

Okay, so I'm finished. (view spoiler)[ I hated this book. Hated it. I didn't like any of the characters past the first couple of chapters. Harper was horrible and never felt truly guilty. Chase should have backed off once she chose Brandon. Their cheating was terrible. The only positive thing was at least she didn't sleep with Brandon, too. I felt bad for him, but I didn't really like him either. And Breanna. That girl was a horrible friend. But back to the story. I thought it was horrible that Chase was killed off and then Brandon took her back and everyone was okay with all of it. The worst thing was that Chase's kid called him "Unlce Chase". Like really? Ugh. Sorry for the rant! (hide spoiler)]

Oh, and I didn't cry because (view spoiler)[ I was soooo irriated with the whole thing! (hide spoiler)]

I wanted the same thing. Even though I don't see that happening, but I'm still hoping. I'm reading Chapter 7 now,

I feel the same (view spoiler)[ I absolutely hated this book!!!!!! Harper was so freaking annoying I hated her the whole book. And how Chases parents were okay with the whole Brandon thing, and how Harper called them Mom and Dad. I wound never be okay with my dead son's child referring to him as uncle. It was just corny and I did like Chase, I did not like the cheating or anything but I preferred that relationship over stupid Brandon(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I just couldn't like Chase because of how he pursued Harper even though she had a boyfriend. That's not right. So I couldn't warm up to him even when he seemed like a better choice at times. This book makes me mad every time I think of it! (hide spoiler)]

Finished. I have mixed feelings about this book. I would give it 2.5*

(view spoiler)[ I get the whole idea of loving more than one person, but some things in this book bugged me. The jumping in to a relationship so fast while being in love with two guys. Harper's choices bugged me and I thought she was pretty selfish. She was constantly thinking about herself with too many things. To a certain point I thought it was rather predictable that she ended up pregnant after the first night with Chase. I hear more often that a family will accept someone as their own, but that she called them Mom and Dad off the bat and they were all okay with the cheating and such surprised me. What also bugged me is the jump in time between chapters every once in awhile. It made it confusing at times. I personally think the story would have been a lot better if she had been with Chase first and that something happened to him and she ended with Brandon. (hide spoiler)]
