Idk how I feel about this one. Loved Chance, but Brie's a bit of a brat.

A beautiful and stunning tale of a second chance romance after so much pain had been caused. I really enjoyed the character development of both Chance and Brie. They really both come into their own as they grow up during this novel.
This story also contained enough laughter and angst that kept you begging for more and flipping that page to find out what happens. There is a lot of emotional heartbreak in this book but it all comes out good in the end. Chance has so much happening that your heart breaks for him and you cannot help but root for him through out! Brie is guarded when it comes to Chance and I cannot say I blame her. But she realizes what she needed in her life and I found these two together absolutely stunning!
I really enjoy Laine's work so I highly recommend snagging this one up!

THIS IS A MUST READ !!!!
I wish I could rate this book more than 5* it certainly deserves it, this by far has been one of my favourite books of this year and was so sad when I read the last page I just didn't want it to end. It was such a beautiful story and I want to catch fireflies <3<3
I adored Lenny and Kelley's book and didn't think that Chance and Brie could top it, but I was wrong so very very wrong this one surpassed my expectations and took this series to a whole other level the story flowed seamlessly every page just pulled you in more and more and the feels I felt every single emotion boy did I.
This was a story of second chances and how if you just forgive your life could be forever changed for the better.
Chance and Brie were both awesome I loved them both so much and all the secondary characters were also amazing and played a huge part in the story which I loved !!!!
Now the wait is on for Ashton and Sawyer to get there s
stories told and I know there's are gonna be EPIC.
I'm a huge fan of Terri's and whatever she writes ill always be sure to read !!!!

This book was unlike anything I've ever read before but have. I know it makes no sense. Just bear with me. It was a bit like deja vu but not.
Glad I could make it clearer for you. LMAO. It's just that it had familiar themes but the author made them her own. Get it? I hope so lol. It dealt with love, broken hearts, betrayal, addiction, abandonment, death, family, friends, and even the college experience.
Chance had his heart broken senior year of high school by his long-term steady girlfriend. He then swore off relationships in order to protect his little heart. That was until Brie blindsided him, but his fear of hurt was far too great and he sabotaged what could have been. Fast forward two years later and Chance is begging for Brie to take another "chance" on him.
Now for the part I always hate. Detailing what I didn't like about the book. Gah! Okay, so my biggest issue was time. Time would elapse with no explanation. There'd be a brief summary of the major events that happened during this unseen period of time, but I was still lost. That "brief" explanation wasn't enough for me. Add to that the existing stories between the side characters and I feel that I needed to read the first book first. So take my foolish advice, do not read this as a standalone unless you can deal with this.
However, I really do believe that this was the case of just me. So take my advice with a grain of salt.
Overall, these young'uns gave me a great story and I wonder what will be next for this series.

The book was OK but nothing memorable. I liked it but it was easy to put down which tells me I would rather be doing something else.

3.5 “Fireflies” Stars.
Catching Fireflies is the second book in the Chasing Butterflies series. It can be read as a STANDALONE.
With a battered heart, Chance Abbot leave his dad and his past to start a new chapter in life at Layton University. After a bad breakup, he decides to stay away from any kind of relationship, but then he meets Brie and his resolution starts to falter.
Brie Holloway is smart, beautiful and innocent. Girlfriend material. She falls for Chance right away and I can’t blame her, he always knew the right things to say… a natural born charmer.
They share a brief kind of relationship, but chance’s insecurities and desire to spread his wings made him broke Brie’s heart.
2 years has passed and now he is done fooling himself. He wants her back. The problem is that she has started dating another guy.
Will Chance prove that he is worthy of a second chance?
This was my first Terri E. Laine’s book and I really enjoyed it. I adored Chance, he was perfect in every single way. I really wanted to be his firefly just for him to catch me. LOL! Brie on the other hand, annoyed the heck out of me. I didn't like how she handle some situations. I know she was young but I consider that some of her actions were a bit childish. The plot was a little overused but I think the author took it and made it hers with the help of her sweet & sexy writing style. But still, I finished the book with the sensation that something was missing. I enjoyed the story but there were some moments that felt a little flat and that made me rest some brownie points to the story.
Overall, I did enjoy it and I would recommend it to the fans of second chance romances.
Catching Fireflies is a sweet, enjoyable, sexy story that I refused to put down I needed to know what will happen... Be ready because Chance Abbot will melt your heart with her sweet words. So if you enjoy romance, swexy couples, friendship and family, then you need to be reading this book.
