Wanting what you can’t have

Jocel Siapno, reporter

What would you do if your soul mate is your best friend’s boyfriend? Are you a Sarah Dessen fan? Read this book by Susane Colasanti. You will definitely love it.

It is about Lani and Erin, who are best friends and believe everything is astrologically related. They are the opposites of each other. Lani is the I-like-to-do-it-my-way kind of girl, while Erin, is the I-want-the-world-to-know-what-I-am-doing kind.

When Lani meets Jason, Erin’s boyfriend, she feels a deep connection with him. Let us say that she finds her soul mate in the character of Jason.

As the story progresses, the two of them share their time, interests and secret codes. They get closer and Jason confesses that he likes Lani. Lani likes Jason, too. But she can’t tell him. What will Lani do? What will Erin, Lani’s best friend, do if she finds out what is really happening between Erin and Jason? What will Lani do if the love of her life can’t be with her? Are Lani and Jason really meant for each other?

Any girl, whether you are into soul mates or not, can relate to this book. It relates to anything you want that you can’t have.
