This is going to be a pretty short review. Fate was a pretty good follow-up for people who liked Soulmates. It is (in case you hadn't known) the follow-up novel to Nicole Dykes' first, Soulmates. The same story is told in the two books. However, in Fate, we see Jake's perspective on everything. And it isn't necessarily as you would expect.
I really enjoyed reading Jake's point of view. As a reader, I personally enjoy the male perspective more. And this was no exception. With Jake's perspective, the reader gets a larger view of everything that happens and why Jakes acts the way he does.
We also get to hear more from the rest of the group of friends (which is nice since in Soulmates Paul had like one line). Being able to actually read about how they interact gives them an entirely new dynamic that couldn't be seen in the first book.
There is a lot less Maddy. But there is also a lot more Jake. And he makes a compelling storyteller being what he thinks is lovesick with unrequited love.

So what do I think overall?
I really enjoyed reading from Jake's POV. This is a great second and recommended to people who liked Soulmates.
