Chasing Fireflies by Chloe Fowler

Young Adult

Rainey is just trying to finish high school. Her younger sister has a heart defect and has to be homeschooled. Both are envious of what the other has. When LIam sits beside Rainey on the first day of school in math class, she is intrigued by him. As her crush grows, his own problems grow as well. Being from the wrong side of town, Liam does not want to bring Rainey down with him even though he is interested in her. However, her interest continues to grow.
Opinion
This book is a big roller coaster of emotions. If you do not want to wear your heart on your sleeve while reading a book, best to leave this one on the shelf. I had to face people immediately after reading an emotional scene and ended up throwing on sunglasses to hide the fact that the book got to me so much.
This book is a great read and I’d recommend it to anyone really but especially those who like an underdog story. Be careful though, it doesn’t end up like you will want it to and you will scream at Chloe Fowler for writing it that way.
Many thanks to Net Galley for providing me with an ARC of this book.
