Hey, anybody heard of this book or this author? I was browsing on Amazon and somehow came across this and it looked really interesting. One of the reviews compared it's theme to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet!! Here's the review excerpt that sounded intriguing to me:
"'The Phoenix' easily gives Romeo and Juliet a run for it's money! I am a huge fan of Shakespeare, as is the author if her (Kit's!) enthusiasm within the story is any indication. Yet, Sims' forbidden love between two men is more poignant. It resonates through our society, where such love is attacked as strongly now as it was when this story was set."
