this was So good. SO SO SO good. Who knew we got it wrong, we knew so little about our star crossed lovers....our Romeo and Juliet!

Quick read, I enjoyed this more than I expected to. I wasnt into the paranormal-ness at all, it just read as mumbo-jumbo to me but I liked the actual story. Glad this book came up as a book-of-the-month, I wouldnt havent picked it up otherwise, and it turned out to be quite entertaining.

This book is a great way for teen readers to get inspired to read the original Romeo and Juliet. The story has deep themes and is heavy based on "perspective." It is an interesting take on Shakespeare's love story. ...more
