What if your soul mate is your best friend’s boy friend? Just reading that question on the cover of the novel __Something Like Fate__ by Susan Colasanti was enough to get me hooked on this book. When you get to your senior year you’re supposed to be mature and over drama, but for Erin, Lani, Jason, and Blake it’s different. The begging of the story was an okay start, then it became more interesting and realistic by the middle, but the incredible ending was my favorite part. __Something Like Fate__ is an Intelligent, fast-paced, present –tense narration… which will resonate with readers attracted to bittersweet and tear-jerking romances.

In this book, the description and detail are so clear, it makes it seem like you’re in the book with Jason, Erin, and Lani. It always keeps you wondering what new drama is going to happen next. The characters In the book are great. Lani is one of the main characters in the book, and the novel is written in the point of view as Lani. I love her attitude towards everything and what she goes through reminds me of myself. Another main character is Jason. Jason is Lani’s true love and fights through a bunch of drama with her. Although they’re forced to stay away from each other, they find a way back together.

In the beginning of the book, the author describes the characters and the relationship between them. Commotions start in the middle of the book. When you get further and further into the book, the drama gets real. The whole book from beginning to end is amazing. None of my friends have read this book, but I’m going to encourage all of them to do so. I was so into this book that I read it in three days and I loved it.
