Bottom Line
If you're an Elle Kennedy fan or love character-driven contemporary romance with real depth, *The Chase* is absolutely worth your time. The slow-burn dynamic between Summer and Fitz is genuinely compelling, and Kennedy's knack for balancing laugh-out-loud humor with meaningful themes makes this a page-turner that tackles some important issues along the way. Just know that while it's excellent entertainment, it's a slightly lighter experience compared to some of her other works—but that's really just a minor caveat for what is ultimately a solid, engaging romance.
