Thank you to the author for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Siblings Lucy and Tony couldn't be more different. Tony's the star diver on his college team and Lucy's main concern is whether the cute guy she seen at work has noticed her.

When an accident kills their parents Lucy and Tony are forced into a situation where they have to support and get to know each other again.

Lucy is of two minds on if she should tell Tony what she knows of the accident. If she doesn't tell him she could lose her mind but if she does she may lose him.

Tony is trying to juggle his diving practice, college and hiding the crush he has on Jake, his best friend. Tony has to find space in his busy life for his sister but he is struggling as well.

As they try to over come their previous issues with each other the siblings may find that they have more that one thing in common.

What I liked about this book
  • LGBTQ main character.
  • An emotional rollercoaster.
  • Explores the complexities of grief, guilt and accepting your sexuality.
  • It is easy to care about the characters. Tony was my favourite character, he matures greatly throughout the book.
  • The story is written beautifully.
What I didn’t like 
  • The story is a bit slow to build up.
Chasing The Taillights is an emotionally powerful story that is sure to have you shedding a few tears. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys contemporary fiction with a hint of romance.

4 stars
