What started as a bet can only end in heartache.
Moving to the middle of nowhere right before my senior year wasn’t ideal.
Then again, neither was my brother dying.
The move was supposed to be a fresh start.
A new town, a new school, a new mindset.
Too bad my past indiscretions followed me.
Enter Jace Rivera, the literal boy next door.
Jace is loved by the town. Admired by his peers. Worshipped by his teammates.
On the basketball court, he’s a god amongst men.
Off the court, he’s… nothing at all like I expected.
He’s profound and pure and… devastatingly tortured.
Yet somehow, he offers me light while I offer him hope.
In the end, we’ll either hurt or heal each other.
There’s no in between.
“Pain is the price we pay for love,” he once told me.
And a broken heart is the consequence of it.
ARC received from author for an honest review.
I first read Harlow and Jace's story when it was a short story in the Hit Me With Your Best Shot anthology.
I thought I knew what I was in for. I thought I could skim parts as I knew what was going on.
I was wrong.
From the minute I started reading Chasing Harlow, I was (again) hooked. Gone were any thoughts of skim reading those chapters that I had previously read.
I was engrossed, turning each page needing to know what was happening with our lovelies.
I forgot what time it was, that I needed to eat, just so I could read a bit more.
This story is exceptional. It is an emotional journey, that will have you riding the highs, feeling the lows, and everything in between.
If you love heartfelt YA sport romances that have a bit of bite to them, you cannot go wrong with Chasing Harlow (or any other Jay McLean book for that matter).
Writer. Reader. Mom. Wife. Master of awkward Sarcasm.
