A review by oashackelford
The Sweetest Kind of Fate by Crystal Cestari

4.0

Every time she looks in her boyfriends eyes Amber sees him with her friend, the happiest he has ever been. Amber Sand is caught in a unique position. When she looks into people's eyes she can see their soulmates, and when she looks into her boyfriends eyes she sees her friend Kim. While neither of them are seeing each other behind her back, everytime they are friendly towards one another she feels the green monster rising up and bubbling out of her. How long can she keep the secret of their match? In addition to this, Ivy Chamberlain, Amber's worst enemy, wants Amber to find out her sister's love match in order to break up her sister and her girlfriend. With her whole world feeling topsy turvy and her own feelings being put in a grinder every day Amber isn't sure how long she can hold it together.

I liked this one more than the first book because Kim being in Amber's life adds some really fun and interesting complications, but I still don't like that I haven't gotten all my questions answered yet.


SpoilerThere is a part of me that wants Charlie to end up with Kim because I don't want her predictions to be wrong, or changeable. I want her love interest to have a "boy that you never thought of in that way" vibe. Charlie is fine as a love interest, but ultimately boring. I want her to marry someone from the supernatural community and have a witch for a baby so that her mom has someone to pass her grimoires on to. I know that is selfish of me, but I get a little tired of the boy who would fight fate itself vibe from supernatural romance novels. I think that him ending up with Kim and her having to find someone else would be a more unexpected ending (because authors usually give in to what their readers want) but I think the other ending would be better.
