Chasing Life Premiered on ABC Family on June 10, 2014
Chasing Life follows twenty-something April (Italia Ricci), a smart and quick-witted aspiring journalist, who is trying to work her way up the ladder at a Boston newspaper by trying to impress her hard-nosed editor. When not pursuing the latest scoop, April tries to balance her ambitious career with her family – her widowed mom Sara, rebellious little sister Brenna and her grandmother. Just as things start to look up at work, home and on the romance front with co-worker Dominic, April gets the devastating news from an estranged uncle that she has cancer.

Well i know subject matter is quite sad but again the tv series focus more on social life of April rather than the subject matter. This had typical ABC Family stamp of approval with the show very family focused which i don't mind but it's clear they playing it safe with this series.
April using her uncle to get interview for her job was smart but knowing her uncle was responsible for her dad death certainly makes things difficult. Now i have a theory on this i don't think uncle was responsible for her dad's death. With amount ABC family show i have watched this is my prediction .
It's clear her uncle is really concerned but hiding it from her family is going to be challenging Author: bala Time: 6-12-2014 10:08 Subject: This Season On CHASING LIFE

Catching Sara making out with Ben on the sofa was amusing and making jokes about her blouse being open was priceless but Brenna making dinner awkward was a little selfish and Kieran felling like he was being used was understandable, the miracle juice guy dying was sad as he was helping April come to terms with it Author: bala Time: 6-25-2014 07:53 Subject: Reply 12#12 codebreaker's post
Well she didn't expect her to be home but it was amusing but than second thoughts when her new patient just happens to be his ex-wife but i thought she figure out he not him but there really was no confirmation whether she was his ex-wife or not. We can't make assumption until they show it. Author: codebreaker Time: 6-25-2014 08:09 Subject: Reply 13#13 bala's post

April was a little gullible not thinking being in a cancer support group that some of them would die and Leo being her fertility benefactor was a little predictable but the fact he helps the other to for-fill their wishes is great Author: codebreaker Time: 8-8-2014 09:17
