When the two of them get caught under the mistletoe, it seems Fitz may finally reciprocate her feelings. In Fate Two, Paige follows her heart to a snowy mountain cabin with Fitz, the diehard romantic best friend she secretly loves. He might be the adventure she’s looking for, if only Paige can forget about her feelings for her best friend back home. Together, they check off the items on her New York bucket list, and as Paige is falling for the city, Harrison is falling for Paige.

When the app fails her and she finds herself lost in Brooklyn, she turns to pretentious family friend Harrison for help. She tries to reinvent herself into a braver, more adventurous person, but her anxiety keeps her clinging to the app for every decision. In Fate One, Paige follows her wanderlust to New York. Two possible answers lead her to two different choices, splitting her life into parallel universes. So, when she’s presented with two last-minute options for Christmas vacation, she boycotts the decision in favor of trusting the “Magic 8” app on her phone. To her, every choice has the potential to fling her life out of its natural orbit into a universe of flaming disappointment. Seventeen-year-old Paige Collins’ undiagnosed anxiety means that she lives in constant fear of making the wrong decision. Many thanks to Kara for letting me share her successful query!įEELS LIKE FATE is a Sliding Doors YA romantic-comedy told in alternating chapters with an #ownvoices exploration of anxiety. In this case, FEELS LIKE FATE became ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. As I talked about in the session, sometimes books don’t always keep the same titles. In Monday’s Quite The Query session on Instagram Live, I shared this query from Kara McDowell.
