I LOVED this book. Simple as that.The book is well written with a complex plot, but most of all this is the kind of book that makes you wonder, it makes you doubt yourself a little bit. We all assume that we know how we will react in certain situations, but maybe, just maybe we will react exactly the opposite. This book probes to us that people can change, that they do change and sometimes they are worthy of redemption.I loved the fact that this novel proves us once again that we should not make assumption nor have preconceived ideas about people until we know all the facts. People always lie, people always hide something and a small significant thing can change your opinion. That small detail may not matter to other, but it may matter to you.Fighting fate is written in a manner that doesn't make you want to put it down even though it takes some time until you reach the romantic part. I promise you won't get bored until you reach that part.One of the most amazing things in this book is seeing Paige blossom. She changes completely, she goes from being a sad, insecure little girl into a smiling young woman, she discoverers what is important for her than she starts living her life instead of trying/continuing to live others.I liked Logan, I liked him a lot. I admire him, I admire his strength. He did not hide, he did not give up, he tried to move on, but at the same time he did not try to forget. The worst thing someone can do in this type of situations is forget, pretend it never happened or not learning anything from it. I loved the moment when Logan finally let go, when he finally stopped being afraid of his past, the moment he come to terms and started moving on.There was a moment when I felt my heart stop for a second. It never happened to me before. I really connected with the characters even though it was a bit difficult in the first six or so chapters.The title is perfect for this novel, but I really dislike the cover. I admit that I wouldn't have picked this book up if I saw it in a bookstore. It is sad because this book is really good.Fighting Fate is a book about love, about friendship, about forgiveness and most of all about moving on. You don't know what you are missing. This book is not overly emotional nor is it spectacular, but sometimes there is more to this type of books than just sparkles and amazing, flamboyant images, sometimes there are life lessons that we should learn.
