Gr 7 Up—Best friends Lani and Erin are connected by their past and their belief that fate plays a part in their lives. When Erin starts dating Jason, Lani is happy for her. But, as Lani gets to know Jason better, she realizes that he is her soul-mate, and coming to terms with this and her friendship with Erin becomes central to the drama. In addition, Lani's friend Blake is terrified that his father will discover that he's gay. Trust, the meaning of friendship, and what holds it together are themes throughout this story by Susane Colasanti (Viking, 2010) as are the different loves shared between friends and family members. Jeannie Stith's voice captures Lani's reflective nature as well as the personalities of the other characters. An engaging listen.—Genevieve Gallagher, Charlottesville High School, VA
