Chasing Sunsets

by Tella Alvarez

A young adult contemporary novel about love, loss, and finding yourself after everything changes.



Indie Adams never imagined her world could fall apart so quickly. One moment, she had it all- her best friends, a picture-perfect relationship, and a future she was certain of. The next, everything shattered.



Left reeling from heartbreak and grief, Indie feels like she is standing still while life moves on without her. The only person who does not expect her to have all the answers is Chase Sutton, the quiet photographer who sees her in ways no one else does. But moving forward means letting go, and Indie is not sure if she is ready.



Fans of Jennifer Niven, Emery Lord, and Sarah Dessen will love Chasing Sunsets, a heartfelt, emotional novel about grief, healing, and discovering who you are when everything changes.

Could do with an edit, as there were some minor plot holes. For example one paragraph Isla is mentioned to be always running late and apologising as she runs out of the house, a couple of paragraphs later she is said to be stood outside waiting. People seem to wake up more than once etc. I highlighted one example where it seemed like an accidental duplication, but actually, knowing this author’s style, it might be repetition for emphasis.

“He hesitated, his smile wavering as if caught between thoughts. “Honestly, Indie, I’m not sure what to think right now.” He hesitated, his smile faltering for a moment, as if he was weighing the words in his mind. “Honestly, Indie, I don’t really know what to think right now,” he admitted, his voice softer than before, almost contemplative.”

But otherwise a moving story about grief and friendship, and a very slow burning sizzle of a romance.

I read this on Wattpad a few years ago. I wouldn't mind paying for this book if it is just as good as it was on there!

Again with the raw emotion. It sucks you in, wanting more. The way the author is able to describe grief is truly a gift. Grief is so hard to understand, no right or wrong way to go about it. 10/10.
