This was such a unique way to write a book. I've read flashbacks and flashforwards, but I'm not sure I've read a story that was formulated exactly this way; it was stunning.  And the fact that we got so much history and emotion in less than 240 pages? That is a difficult needle to thread, but was done with care and skill. Kayla and Ryan's story was complicated and could have gone off the rails at any time, but Smith still managed to make it poignant and romantic. I am a fan! 🥳💗

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, The Winning Ticket, but Chasing Horizons was (imo), even better! 😍 I adore a "person is famous but the other has no idea who they are" story. And since I don't read blurbs or descriptions, I was delighted that this was that kind of book. Kylie and Seth were well drawn, with very relatable issues (minus the one being very wealthy - I wish I could relate to THAT!), and I was rooting for them the entire time. What a great addition to the Circle of Friends series!💖
