Fate Lends a Leg

This is a very interesting story, it deals with 'fated' love, in the sense that through dreams and emotions and déjà vu moments Cal and Bill are reincarnated lovers from long ago.
Cal's father is in the army, he moves around a lot, and to say he wasn't thrilled to move to Oklahoma would be an understatement. That is until he sees Bill on his bike delivering papers, he is instantly intrigued and smitten.
This story may be YA but it also deals with a very serious subject, which impacts the story immensely.
He confides in Cal and they connect or maybe reconnect of you consider the reincarnation theory.
It wasn't perfect, 'Buddy' has a meaning to them, deeper than just a name to call the other, but it was used very liberally throughout the story, and I wish maybe a few of the mundane day to day activities had been left out and instead the ending had been more fleshed out, three years are covered in a flash in the last pages of the book.
I enjoyed Bill and Cal's story, Cal's parents are very proactive and supportive, the group of loyal friends surrounding Bill add a lot to the story and I wonder of the author might write a bot more about that group, Mike and Dono maybe? (less)
