I AM HEARTBROKEN

Oh My Freaking Gawd. I AM IN SHOCK. I AM IN DENIAL. I JUST... Gah. I'm so depressed I can't even be bothered to finish this.
I loved this book to begin with. I thought it had such great potential.
I thought it was pretty epic. I was so hooked.
I liked the plot, I liked the twist, I liked the triangle, I thought it was all going great...and then

(view spoiler)

I feel like I need counselling or therapy.
What are your opinions? Did you love it or hate it?

I don't know why I read this book when I know how it ended. I thought Chase was the one she should have ended up with. Brandon was boring.


It was a great story. I cried when Chase died, I cried when they name the baby, and I cried when Brandon tells stories to the baby about his dad. I loved the book from Chase's POV again cried (harder) when he died. I would love to read a book from Brandon's POV. While Brandon was not the most adventuresome and kind of the goody too shoes I think that would be interesting to see if his brain was as goody too shoes (not sure that make sense).


I just fell deeply in love with both brandon and chase. WOW idk what to say. NOTHING.

i am heartbroken right and im only on 61%. i have feeling im gonna need intense therapy when im done with this book.i cant continue reading and yet i cant put it down. so torn. hating myself for that.


i'm completely shattered :( i love chase....


This was one of the hardest books I have ever read. I loved Chase more than Brandon so it literally killed me when he died:( I did finish the book though.. I felt I owed it to myself and the Author and thought it would help distract me. I never went through more kleenex during a book! What I want to know is what the author was thinking!


omg! I feel like I'm dying. I'm heartbroken and just feel sick to my stomach. It's been a week since I read Taking Chances and I'm still not over it. Yes I read Stealing Harper too, but ugh, just ugh.


I already knew what happened b/c when I went ot see what the book was about no one hid the spoilers so i knew who was going to die. I wanted to cry believe me I was ready for it but yeah. Then I read Stealing Harper and I'm even more heart broke. Molly is an emotional terrorist!!


It was a great story and yes Brandon was the safe choice. It was so wrong to kill off Chase (I cried). I have to say that I did love the book from Chase's POV.


I loved brandon, I actually thought she was going to be with chase from the start.


I also hated this book, it had me on an emotional rollarcoaster reading Taking Chances, i stupidly put myself through it again reading Stealing Harper.

Broke my heart into two and i have to say i hated Harper even more for it. To see the pain that Chase went through, Molly tore my heart.

I was routing for Chase all the time, and i found her going to Brandon utterly INFURIATING!

This book ruins my heart and my definition of happy ending. Enough said. I'll go back to my corner and cry again.


I stopped reading when he died.


******SPOILER*****




Hated that Chase dies! It totally ruined the book. It just seemed too contrived that she would go back to Brandon...but that's just me.


I finished reading the book even though I went into complete heart failure when I read that Chase was killed, and I'm very glad I did. Brandon Taylor is AMAZING and Wonderful to Harper after everything that happened, I highly recommend finishing this book if you stopped reading it or were afraid to start reading it in the first place. I know, most people are Team Chase, but I always thought Chase was kind of a jackass and I never understood Harper's connection with him. I will read the sequel, but reading it will be like re-opening a wound, it's going to be very, very painful.


OMG me too, I still think about this book#!

Was it just me or did we all really want her to be with chase? It was all CHASE for me, brandon just didnt really cut it for me! I dont think I can deal with the new chase POV , I dont enjoy the heartbreaking feeling, so I think its best I steer clear.

(also I dont think her old best friend got a fair crack, the author cold have milked that one a bit more) :-)

Thank you! I felt the exact same way! UGH! How could she twist CHASE into our hearts then BAM just rip him out. I just hated how she made a girl like Harper (raised by army guys) could be sooo... frustrating. I couldn't finish the book (which I've never done before) after I noticed where Harper and Brandon were going. I also recommended it to a friend as well and she couldn't bring her self to finish it. Then to come out with Chase's POV??? wtf??!
EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND HEARTBROKEN.


Me too. I was so upset after that catastrophe. I really love the plot, the story, and everything.. and the main character that I would love Harper to end up with. And.. HE DIED. I swear I was quite traumatized with all that CHASE-DIED-OMG stuff. And I don't want to be rude but I WILL NEVER READ the sequel of it! Its really disturbing.

I'm right there with ya, I was so fucking pissedI didn't even finish the book after maybe the next chapter. Chase was just pushed under the rug like he didn't matter not only by Harper but by his own family!! seriously!! I hated this book,I was devastated after and how could she write a book in his POV I think that's stupid no offense to the author but really break every ones hearts then write the same book in his POV just to feel how he felt while he died ugh!! No thanks huge pass!!

Yea and I read this MONTHS ago and still can't deal with the way she took this story!!

Erika I wouldn't finish the book either. What was the point? Brandon was boring. Chase was the one you wanted to read about. ...more
