Chasing Love: The Complete Series
Ever since I was a child, I have wanted to be in love. Not just be in love, I want a sizzling I-WILL-DIE-FOR-YOU kind of love story. I want to be the heroine of a rom-com but in real life. I want to date a man who is handsome and loves me so much he is willing to do anything to make me happy. Like Richard Gere in Pretty Woman. Is it too much to ask?
Rebel has been waiting for her knight in the shining armour since she was twelve. But her knight seems to be taking his own sweet time as she is twenty-seven now and he is nowhere to be seen. She takes it upon herself to find him and decides to download a dating app where apparently all the knights are at these days. She meets Michael, a handsome and intelligent banker who is exactly what she has ever wanted in her life.
But there is more to what meets the eye. Apart from finding true love, Rebel also needs to follow her dreams, fulfil her overprotective mother's expectations and heal trauma from the past.
Will Rebel succeed in her quest or will she forever be caught in the chase?

Chasing Love
by Vidhi Mohan is a story of empowerment and love. The main character Rebel is a woman is a streak of bad relationships. As much as she talks about bad luck in love, the truth is she simply doesn’t value herself. We follow her story as she jumps once again into an unhealthy relationship. The value of this story, in my opinion, lies in the fact that Rebel manages to break her pattern and improves herself.
Well, this all sounds fun and dandy, but let me assure you, my critical mind won’t let you down. I have four, let me repeat, four pages of notes on this novel. Some are good, some bad…
Firstly, I like to point out some things that aren’t necessarily the author’s fault but the editors and the publishers. This novel is very raw, it looks almost like a second draft. There are numerous grammatical and spelling mistakes. I’m not a stranger to reading unedited books, however, it wasn’t disclosed I was about to read one now. But, let’s move on.
The writing itself was okay, not groundbreaking nor bad. There is a lot of space for improvement! The first thing that caught my eye and kept annoying me till the end of the book is the lack of contractions. For example, why use cannot when you can use can’t? Since this is written from the first-person point of view and has that stream of consciousness feel, it feels very unnatural. In reality no one speaks without shortening words even a little bit, especially when using past tenses.
Let’s talk about the characters. Rebel is our protagonist. My first impression of her was that she is incredibly prejudiced, judgmental, and insecure. I hoped Rebel would come aware of that and try to work out these issues by the end of the novel. That wasn’t the case. She remained all those. The thing that changed is that she only became a bit more confident.
I really don’t like how Rebel was written. She is not only annoying and insufferable but also, I found that she seemed very dumb. Here I’m not talking about her interactions with one of the love interests! Rebel is unaware of a lot of things happening around her and rarely makes clever decisions.
The male protagonists/love interests are simply plain and flat. They are stereotypes of a good and a bad guy. There is no chemistry between neither of them and the protagonist.
There is a similar issue with Rebel’s friends. They don’t seem like they have lives of their own. Their sole purpose is to be a supporting character in Rebel’s life.
This could be improved by improving the dialogue. The dialogue is tense, unnatural. It reads like an interaction between robots. There a lot of work to be done here.
The plot of the novel was good. The story is enjoyable. I liked the pacing and the plot twists were okay (sometimes a bit sudden, but okay).
In my opinion, the main issue with this novel is the fact that it wasn’t edited (at all or edited enough). All the inconsistencies in the plot, the stiffness of the dialogue are due to that.
I’ve left my favourite thing for the end… the red coat motif . I hope you catch it when you read the novel. The significance of this motif is huge and I loved it. I am just sorry Rebel didn’t get her happy ending with the red coat…
I think Vidhi Mohan has enormous potential! She is so very young, there is a lot of time for her to learn and improve her writing.

*I received a complimentary copy of thid book from the author via Voracious Readers in exchange for my honest review.*
This story is suppose to be a sweet tale about our MC, Rebel finding herself and love. At least that's what I think. But holy cow was this book a struggle to get through! It was pretty bad, to put it nicely. I did find myself skimming through some bits of it. The story is a bit of a mess. It is linear, but there are A LOT of parts that just make you stop and reread it. Not cause it is sweet, but because you just have so many concerning questions. I found myself going "Huh?", "What?", "No." Pretty often throughout the story...and it was less than 200pgs. Am I happy that the MC found love at the end? Kinda. For a "complete series" the final love was rushed...as in only a few lines.
What I did love about the story was at the very end. And this is what deemed this story a review for its 1 star:
"Rob sits with me on my couchless carpeted floor and we talk..." THEN ONLY A PAGE LATER IT SAYS: "I sit away from him on the couch making some space between us...I am about to get up from the couch..." HOW THE HECK DID SHE GO FROM NO COUCH TO COUCH?! IT IS TRULY AMAZING! One of my favorite parts of the book...10/10
Final overall rating: 1/5 stars

This is a story of a young woman with daddy issues and because of that she looks for men with status and looks. Each man that Rebel has dated as ended bad, and the new man in her life, Michael is no different. The one man that truly cares about her, Robert, she doesn’t have intimate feelings for, she only sees him as a good friend.
This isn’t a great book, but it could have been written a little bit better. Great story line, it’s just drawn out.
