I have been wanting to read this book for over a year now. It has been sitting on my shelf for the last 4 months, and now that I am finally finished with it, I am not pleased. I really dislike books that just leave you hanging without having a sequel coming out. And Something Like Fate happens to be one of those books.
The book is told in three parts, April-May; June-August; and September-October, so we get less than a year in Lani, Jason, Erin and Blake's lives. Lani is the main character. There was an accident ( at first it isn't clear what kind or even when it happened) that involved her and her best friend Erin. This accident apparently gave the girls a deeper connection and Lani sees Erin as her "soul sister". Lani's other friend Blake is gay and so far Lani is the only one that knows. We get thrown into their junior year in high-school and get a little background on why Lani isn't hanging out with the same crowd that Erin does. The we get Jason thrown into the mix, he is Erin's newest interest and she acts a lot less like an almost 18 year old and more like a 14 or 15 year old when talking to Lani about him.
Long story short, Erin and Jason start dating, Lani starts to fall for Jason because he is literally her soul-mate, they like the same things, have actually known each other since they were little, and even come up with some of the same off the wall stuff that no-one else gets. Lani starts hanging out with Jason more and more and even though she trys her hardest she can't help but fall for him a little more each day; of course Erin is ok with all of this because she thinks that Lani is just Jason's friend. You can tell that Jason likes Lani too, and even Blake can see it; Blake called it from the very beginning. Lani and Jason confess their feelings for each other towards the end of the school year and when Erin goes off to camp for the summer things get a little more serious between Lani and Jason.
Jason breaks up with Erin in a letter and of course beginnings dating Lani, although they must keep it a secret until Jason can tell Erin about them in person. When Erin arrives home, Lani can't stand not telling her, so she convinces Jason that they shouldn't see each other until he can tell Erin. All heck breaks loose after that, and really; I shouldn't have expected less from Erin than what she did.
Of course everything gets resolved in the end and while the ending is VERY abrupt, I can see why Susane ended it there. I would have LOVED to know how Lani and Jason got through the rest of the school year, and if her and Erin really did work things out; but I guess I'll leave all that up to my imagination. ( )

Excellent book. I gave this author a second chance after reading one of her other books that was a pretty miserable experience for me. With this one she more than redeemed herself. I am hoping that the other one was a fluke.

The characters in this book were full bodied, not shallow. They were average. Human. ( )

From the Teen STAR Review Team, Be the Star You Are!™

Young Reader Reaction: The plot is interesting and very realistic. It is a book for girls ages 12 to 17 and involves love and best friends. Readers feel like Lani’s dilemma is the reader’s problem. The writing style reflects a teenager who does not know what she is doing. There is too much dialogue and not enough description. The story is a little cheesy at times and gets boring in spots. I would not recommend it to my friends. It is a happy story, but a boring one as well.

Pros: Teens can easily connect to the book. It is an easy read and realistic.

4 out of 5 stars!! This is a detailed story about friendship, how far you would go to pay back someone you feel indebted to, and the happenings of teenage romance. Lani has all the makings of a great character, she sticks up for what she believes in, she puts others way before herself, and she is good-natured all around. Plus it doesn’t hurt that she is just so sweet! For those of you who have read books by Susane Colasanti before then I HIGHLY recommend this book! It has become one of my fave books from her!
