The Chasing Diaries

Chasing #1.5

by Pamela Ann

Read this after you have read the first novel, Chasing Beautiful.

A short novella about Kyle + Sienna + Blake.
Sienna Richards was excited to start anew and follow her dreams to study in England--leaving her boyfriend behind, Kyle. She thought since they had gone through so much together, nothing can ever come in between them.

Once in London, she got sucked into a different world building friendships and seeing life through different eyes. It didn't help that her roommate was friends with the most beautiful man she has ever laid eyes on, Blake Knightly. As the months progressed, she and Blake became close friends. But even though Sienna's attraction to Blake was evidently strong, she wasn't about to give that up for Kyle. She loved Kyle and always will.
But one phone call will change all of that. A call that will change her life forever.

10 minute read, how Sienna found out about Kyle's indiscretions.

[Di · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was basically covered in the first book. Nothing new really.

Waste of money

Waste of money

I have loved this entire series however this novella was kinda worthless.there was no really great insight here and should have been free or should have elaborated more on the beginning of Blake and Sienna's friendship. the rest of the books are 5 stars all the way!

This is short story ,read it before you started read first book.
Overall i understand Kyle now why he did what he did.
She pushed him away so many times,first when she left him behind
and run away England.Then she meet Blake overheel with him.

If you read the first book there's no need to read this "prelude". It's less than 40 pages and merely repeats things that are already said in the first book. Do no waste your money.

[crazipotmom · Rating 3 out of 5]

this fills you in on the background to know how something's got started

Love Pams Books!!! They never get old. I can reread them all the time

Oops I read this out of order 🤦‍♀️
It should be read AFTER reading Chasing Beautiful 🤷‍♀️

It’s very short and I don’t know what I was thinking in 2014 when I bought this book.

Well this is a fun little read. It has been awhile since I read the the series. I loved the series. I loved the intensity, I thought the plot twist at the end was crazy. I'm not sure if I fully bought that. Anyways, when reading the series, I was not crazy about Kyle transferring to London because his parents think that what is best for him is him and Sienna trying to mend and rekindle their relationship instead of him going to rehab and getting the help he needs. I thought it was low of him to cheat on her. I think he was really hurting that she left him to go to school in London. It seemed as if she never even mentioned the idea to him. You would think, being in a committed relationship, for two years, and the history they have together that she would have mentioned it. Now, after reading this novella, I see that Sienna actually didn't make their long distance relationship any easier. I think it's crummy that she told him only two days before she was leaving that she was leaving LA and going to school in London. Despite Christmas being a difficult holiday for her, I thought it was low of her to not go back to LA to see him. I did enjoy this read and it wets my appetite to want re-read Chasing Beautiful. Hmmm… Blake Knightly...

First story from this author for me. It was pretty good, quick read sets up the drama that is Sienna's life. Sienna goes abroad for school and she is leaving behind a boyfriend that really doesn't want her to go. The long distance relationship starts to hit the skids when missed calls aren't returned and calls are ignored and doubts start to creep in. Add to the fact that Sienna finds herself insanely attracted to Blake but she does not act on it knowing she had a boyfriend and he doesn't push it, he's just bidding his time waiting for his chance. Now your into the story and you find out the heartbreaking news and what she does next, and the story is over I'm like what, grrrrr.

[Robin Julian · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a very short story. It was okay. It gave a look into Sienna and Kyle's past before she moved to London. It tells how she meets Blake and the end of her relationship with Kyle. They suggest you read this after you read book one. I was too into the books to stop for the short story so I read it after the 2nd book. You can actually read this one first because he just gives you a little background before the first book starts. It's a teaser more or less to get you started for book one.

[Brittany's Book Bumblings · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked seeing the beginning of Sienna and Blake's relationship (because let's be real, they weren't just friends, even though she hadn't realized it). It was so short and abrupt that it wasn't great I mean, would Kyle really just dive into confessing in that phone call or would he at least say the word 'hi' or something to ease her into it? We see that he still cares about her so it seems out of character for him to be so blunt.

Chasing... Definitely chasing your heart your past your future your dreams and fears

A very good very intense lead in short story. Definitely makes me want to pick up the next book and find out what happens in LA or what happens when THE plane returns to London. Definitely recommend that you read this prequel before starting the series. I don't however believe that it should be read by anyone under the adult age group.

[twobrokegirls]

Very short novella maybe like 37 pages but good. It gave you some insight about Sienna and Kyle before she moved to London then when she moved and how she came to know Blake. They say to read it after chasing beautiful but I read the entire series and then read Chasing diaries. Worth the read if you wanna know a little more about the relationship of Sienna and Kyle but my heart is with Blake.

[BeeH · Rating 2 out of 5]

I am disappointed.I thought I will get to read something that isn't written in the first book.For me,you don't have to read this unless u have forgotten the story on first book and want to retread then all you have to do is read read this.

[Bridgette · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was alright

I enjoyed reading more of the "before" break up of Kyle and Sienna but it would have been nice with a little more "meat" it was just alright to me. I enjoyed Chasing Beautiful and will read the other books so I can see what happens from here.

[Lili · Rating 3 out of 5]

meh!... just a really, reaaaally fast recap of what happened in the previous book.

[Nancy❤The❤Bookaholic · Rating 3 out of 5]

~~3 stars~~

[Tabetha · Rating 4 out of 5]

[Tiffany · Rating 3 out of 5]

Definitely did not shed a good light on Kyle!

[France · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 stars

[S · Rating 4 out of 5]

Is 't this the same as the prelude? I really think its the same.

[Adriana · Rating 3 out of 5]

A cute in between filler to the Chase series.

[Katie · Rating 3 out of 5]

A quick and easy read that gives a great introduction to Blake, Sienna and Kyle. I would think you'd want to read this one before Chasing Beautiful.

[Danielle · Rating 3 out of 5]

it was a good story, gave some insight to when sienna first got to london and her friendship with blake
