The premise of the book sounded like it could be interesting, but it just never delivered. They seemed like they were only there to move the main character along and when they weren't needed they disappeared. The only two characters who had potential were Connor and Blake and there just wasn't enough of them in the story, if there had been maybe it wouldn't have been so bad. The conversations the characters had throughout the novel were unrealistic and extremely weird. Lani had too much of an obsession with Fate and took everything to extremes. Erin was vain and self centered, everything in the entire world revolved around her. If I never hear the word Fate again in my entire life it will be too soon. It got to the point, where I didn't want to even finish the book. They live in a small town, where as children they would probably run into each other and just because that happened, they were "meant to be together" or because they like the same thing it's "Fate". The talk of Fate throughout this book really got on my nerves. Best friends Lani and Erin couldnat be more different. Who says "Far Out" anymore? Oh and Lani talks to her shopping cart. Buy a used copy of Something Like Fate book by Susane Colasanti. If that wasn't ridiculous enough, half of the dialogue between Jason and Lani sounds like it belongs in the seventies. Don't believe me, check pages 98 and 99 in the paperback. Evian tastes like sky blue triangles and Poland Spring tastes like red circles. No clue what I'm talking about? Well the characters, Lani and Jason, think different kinds of water taste like this.
