I was given a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.Well Kelli, you were right! I was meant to read this book haha!I've never been to Niagara Falls, but after reading this book, I want to put that on my bucket list. The main character, Selina, talks about the beauty and magic of the falls . Seeing as I've never been, it was hard for me to see what she meant. By the end, I definitely knew, well as much as I could imagine without physically being there.That's one of the things I loved about this book. I was able to get lost in my imagination and put myself into this book. Not many authors can successfully do that.Another thing I loved was the characters relationships. Kelli took time building them slowly to the point where I felt like I knew them. I could picture everything, (and I mean everything (; .)I really enjoyed the story line; local meets tourist an fling turns into more. You don't see that everyday, or at least I haven't come across many books that do. The fact that it take place in Canada is also new to me. It's not the typical beach oasis or big city setting that has been invading the bookshelves lately. It was a welcomed change.To me, to have a great book, it needs to have the ability to evoke emotion from the reader. Whether it be good or bad, sympathy or empathy. ANY emotion that a book makes you feel is a good sign of a great read.Chasing Dreams definitely did that for me. I'll be keeping an eye out for the next one :)
