Review of Something Like Fate by Susane Colasanti

Title: Something Like Fate

Author: Susane Colasanti

Description: Lani and Erin are lifelong best friends — and total opposites. Lani’s a down-to-earth Taurus; Erin’s a fiery Leo. Lani likes to do her own thing; Erin prefers an entourage. They’ve always had wildly different tastes, from pizza toppings to guys.
That is, until Erin starts dating Jason.
From the minute Lani meets Jason, she can’t deny the amazing connection she feels with him. It’s like they’ve known each other their whole lives. She’s not sure if he feels it, too — but even if he does, he’s off-limits. Lani’s determined to ignore her feelings for Jason, no matter how powerful they are, rather than hurt her best friend.
Then Erin goes away for the summer — and Jason seems to appear everywhere Lani turns. How long can she keep running from the guy who just might be the love of her life?

Review: In Something Like Fate, Susane Colasanti tells the classic story of a girl falling in love with her best friend's boyfriend. When Lani meets Jason, she emidiately notices that they have a connection. As she gets to know Jason better, Lani realizes what they have is something special. A strong believer in fate, Lani is left wondering what to do when you meet someone who seems to be your soul mate, but he just happens to be dating your best friend. When Lani's best friend Erin goes off to summer camp, she gives Lani and Jason the perfect opportunity to get to know eachother better. And the more time they spend together, the more they realize that they are meant to be together. This further complicates life and leaves Lani with an important decision-Should she choose her best friend, or the love of her life?

Bottom Line: This is a really good book about making decisions and realizing sometimes you can't have everything you want. Susane Colasanti is good at making you want to read on and I can happily say I did not have to skim any pages.
