Allia Cosovo | 4 comments I'm looking for a specific book I heard about once
i would say 3 or 4 years ago. i'm guessing that it was written after the 2000's as a general publication date but i can't be sure. I would say it is an YA novel.

The setting is , I believe, is set in New York or a very Urban setting and all the characters were based off of Shakespeare characters. The book follows many different characters who are all somehow connected to each other. The main characters i think are a brother and sister, no idea what William S. Character they represent.

(Spoiler)(spoiler)

The only other thing I know is that the character who represents Ophelia from Hamlet goes on a TV show where she is portrayed as crazy. Some scandel about her husband.... Later she dies/ commits suicide, but the twist is that she is also another Shakespeare Character who actually faked her death in order to haunt her husband and discover the truth… or something

Allia Cosovo | 4 comments I think it is Falling for Hamlet from reading detailed summaries online, but it's not at my local library so I cant read it to confirm.

Allia, was "Falling for Hamlet" your book? We need to move this out of Possibly Solved.
