Chasing Brooklyn by Lisa Schroeder

This is the third book by Lisa Schroeder I've read and none of them have disappointed me. They all made me want to cry reading about love that lasts beyond the grave and that wants only whats best for the love of their life and wants them to move on and be happy. Chasing Brooklyn is about a girl, named Booklyn, whose boyfriend, Lucca, died from an accident that happened while their friend Gabe was driving when she was out of town. Their friend Gabe, a year later overdoses. Luccas brother, Nico,feels like he was never as good as his brother so he spends all his time running to get away from his problems. When Lucca died he lost his brother and his best friend so he's still lost also. the book switches points of view and it's nice to read from both of their sides of the story. Brooklyn starts having nightmares of Gabe chasing her and telling her not to let fear run her life. Meanwhile Nico is being haunted relentlessly by Lucca who's telling him to help Brooklyn. As Nico comforts and helps Brooklyn move on they both start to have feeling for each other, but still struggle with their loyalties to Lucca. By the end of the book they are now dating, Brooklyn has stopped having nightmares about Gabe, and they learn that Lucca wants them to be happy and together. I loved the short tie-in of the book I Heart You, You Haunt Me. I liked the verse format and although I almost NEVER cry when I read books I cried about this one, it will touch any and all romantics and make you want to read more books by Lisa Schroeder.
