Initially, I was really excited to read this book. I had just finished a book with a similar premise (The Unwritten Rule by Elizabeth Scott), so I was interested in seeing how this one would be different.

Unfortunately, I was not impressed. The love triangle premise has been done to death, so it was really disappointing that Ms. Colasanti didn't do much to spice it up. Maybe adding Lani's obsession with fate to the mix was her way of trying to create a different path, but in the end, that storyline just dragged on and on. Lani was obsessed with reading her horoscope and, of course, her horoscopes always applied to whatever situation she was in. Which leads me to my next annoyance: Jason and Lani have too much in common, and I'm not talking about sharing favorite poptarts or anything like that. It's obscure things, like how they compare brands of water to shapes/colors. For instance, they think one brand of water tastes like orange rhombus, while another tastes like red circle. What does that even mean? Definitely was rolling my eyes at that part.

Another problem I had was with the dialogue style. There were multiple pages where it was pretty much nothing but back and forth, short dialogue without much indication who was saying what. And Lani did a lot of this in her narration:

Erin was like, "Blah blah blah."
Then Jason goes, "Blah blah blah."
And I was all, "Blah blah blah."

I understand that a lot of teenagers talk like that, but it was really annoying to read it in narration like that.

The only two characters I liked were Connor and Blake, but even then they were barely in the novel, which was disappointing. Perhaps they had been featured more, I could have better enjoyed the book.

Overall, the writing was basic, the characters were basic, and, of course, the premise was basic.
