Have you ever had to make a decision that could possibly ruin your friendship with your best friend? In this book Something like Fate by Susane Colasanti, one of the main characters named Lani is in the exact same situation. Throughout the book, Lani struggles on whether or not to admit that she likes her best friend, Erin's boyfriend, Jason.
Lani and Erin are very close; they share a secret bond which a big part of their friendship is built on. One summer Jason and Lani started to get closer and closer, but Lani felt guilty about it. This would eventually create conflicts; not just conflicts with Erin, but also within herself.
I have many positive things to say about this book, as well as her other 2 books I have read. There isn’t much unique content, but there are a lot of things I like about her writing. One of the things I like is how she uses voice. Even though Susane Colasanti is an adult, in some way she can recollect how teenagers think.
Other than Susane Colasanti’s voice, she includes a lot of other Literary Devices. A couple of them are foreshadowing, ambiguity, foil characters. Foreshadowing is when the author gives subtle hints or clues that show what will happen next. It makes the reader want to keep reading to find out what’s going to happen. Ambiguity is when the author leaves out information. This makes the reader think of possibilities of what might happen. Lastly, are the foil characters, which is when there are two characters that serve as a contrast or challenge to the main character. Notice that all of these literary devices listed lead to the reader wanting to keep reading.
I love all Susane Colasanti’s books; that’s why I would definitely recommend them to all of my friends; as well as all girls my age.
