Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Katie

Marissa wants to re-invent herself. Last year she was quiet and people
believed she was a "freak". This year she wants to shed that image and
even find the perfect guy. She believes that guy is Derek and has her
friends Nash and Sterling help her snag him. The entire story is
basically Marissa finding out who she is.

I agree with the
synopsis from amazon.com, it gets tiresome. The story is extremely
predictable and it wasn't able to keep my attention. Marissa has an
anxiety disorder, but I wouldn't have even known if she hadn't said it a
couple times.

Susane
Colasanti has written two other books before this and both were,
bland. She makes believable characters, but her plots aren't anything
special. Once you've read one Colasanti, you've read them all.

I
recommend reading one of her books, but after that don't bother reading
the others. I did appreciate the fact that in this book she didn't use
the f-bomb ridiculously like one of her past books.

*I
recommend Something
Like Fate by Susane Colasanti. I would give it 4 stars.
