Really liked this book. I suppose it didn't hurt that the book was about Romeo and Juliet, but with more of a twist on the tale that most people read. The book was really well written, going back and forth with the modern tale with the tale from the middle ages. While it did take me a while to get into the book, it was definitely worth it. I wonder how much of the play by Shakespeare is based on the tale of Romeo and Juliet and how much of it is true. Wonderful book.

Self-consciously picturesque Italian, plus a very silly American heroine, and highly improbable events. Beach read -- don't ask why, just go with the flow.
