But I can’t do this, she saved my life! These words lingered in Lani’s head through the whole summer.  In “Something Like Fate” a romance/realistic novel by Susane Colasanti, tells a love triangle between three main characters. Lani, Erin, and Jason. Lani and Erin are best friends. In the past, a car accident had happened between them and quickly Erin had saved Lani’s life from a lake. Once they got older they have bonded more with the accident. They bond with fate. They bond with the fate of how they live until something besides fate turns to love. Soon, Erin starts to like Jason. A boy from Lani and Erin’s school that Erin starts to admire. They get into a relationship until summer hits. Erin goes to summer camp and Lani and Jason are left together. To do what? Play games, buy things or… get close? Jason slowly gets close with Lani but how would Lani feel, Erin or even other people feel and think. The novel runs along a love trail of decisions and wanted relationships. It’s something that is fun to read. In the novel, the author uses important factors that make the book alive. Strong mood, descriptive language and symbolism. Colasanti uses mood to say all the emotions of the characters of how they feel for each other. Descriptive language to tell the words of characters that make the characters and their love. Finally, symbolism to show certain things in the story. The point of view is from Lani’s, where you can see the person who made the mistake but for love.
Personal I think the book is amazing and is very real written. All the chapters have a twist and each character makes their own stories and fall in love. It leads to one thing to another. Everything and one has a connection. It just makes you eager to read more and how everything goes. It’s like a tv show and binging all the episodes of the season(s) to see how it goes. It’s a very interesting book to read especially if it’s your first one from Susane Colasanti. Each of her words had felt as if I was in a crazy love adventure. The author had proved a really great novel especially included the element of fate that people learn. Even when Lani plays with it. Honestly, if anyone is looking for a great romance book this should be your pick. The author wants us to know that when love is beating, you need to go get it and not leave it. The book left in a place where love is at it’s greatest point. Like fairytales, but there an actually princess and prince. The best part is that the book was made and it’s so great with everything. This book makes words turn into real love.
