Thank you to Penguin Teen and Netgalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
Flirting with Fate follows Ava Grandos. For as long as she's known, the women in her family pass on blessings on their deathbeds. Ava's nana has had several close calls, but on the night she truly does pass, Ava is a couple minutes late thanks to a freak storm and a small fender bender with a mysterious boy. She thinks her blessing is gone, but when her nana reappears the next day as a ghost, Ava finds out her blessing has been misplaced. She only has a month to find the boy who has and get it back otherwise her family will never have blessings again.
This one was so enjoyable and fun!! I loved Ava's character and her grumpy attitude about fate. The way the family stories were entwined was so cute and this one made my heart happy. I loved her relationship with her sisters and how they always supported each other. Though Viv hiding her relationship was kind of weird, and the way Ava reacted to it was weird.
I'm eternally grateful that Achilles was not the love interest because I had an intense hate for him. He was such a pretentious entitled white boy and even though by the end he starts to work on his attitude, I still didn't like him. I loved Orion or Rion though. He was the sweetest cinnamon roll and I loved all his interactions with Ava. They were so cute together!
