Lani's character was just plain stupid at times. That's really stereotypical.that's not how all gay guys act. He's a gay guy and he's a 'fashion diva' and he acts totally girly. I hated how stereotypical the character Blake was. And after these characters are just randomly introduced, you never see them again. This actually happens a lot throughout the book, not only in the first few chapters. The main character Lani just mentions a new character as if I'm supposed to automatically know who they are. But what ever happened to I said, '.'?Īfter every few chapters, a new character is introduced randomly. Honestly, if what was actually in quotes was like that, fine. Yes, some teenagers do actually talk like this, but this got incredibly annoying throughout the book. The inner dialogue was written as following: I pretty much got the opposite of what I expected. I picked up this book because I saw that some people compared Colasanti's writing to Sarah Dessen. You can obviously tell what this book is about from the cover. I definitely look forward to more books from this author. Though I love how the author used the fate thing in this book. I do believe in fate but don’t entirely depend on it.įate would sometimes intervene but in the end out decisions would still be the last call. When we read this book we either see a piece of ourselves with Lani, Erin, Jason or Blake and that was what made this book good. Lani, Erin, Jason and Blake were very relatable.

The plot was not that unique but the characters made it so. One good thing about this book was that it was relatable. Lani has to choose between keeping her friendship with Erin or hurting her just for the sake of her getting the guy who she thinks was the guy fate chose for her. What made it worse was the fact that Jason seemed to be feeling the same way. Lani know it was wrong but she was starting to develop feelings for Jason. When Erin went to camp leaving Lani and Jason together that’s when things started to get complicated. Jason was a good guy and it wasn’t hard to see that. Lani was okay with the fact that Erin was going out with Jason. She was the outgoing one who does something she wants without hesitation.Įrin started to date Jason whom she thinks was her soul mate. Lani was the environmentalist who usually likes to likes things simple. Lani and Erin have been best friends for as long as they could remember.īut they were different from each other as night and day. It was put in a way that I liked the lead character despite the fact that she fell in love with her best friend's boy. I was not at all happy with how that one played out.īut with this book it was an entirely different story. I've read another book not so long ago where the lead female character hooked up with her best friend's boyfriend.
