is this book good 🤔

@cee :] i don't know how to tag you but i'll make sure you read this. so in response to this, tvd is such a great book pls

it's a retelling of romeo and juliet set n 1920s shangai, and there's basically this monster roaming the streets that makes juliette cai have to work with roma montagov, the son and heir of the white flowers. juliette is the daughter and heir of the scarlet gang, and the scarlets and the white flowers have a blood feud that goes back ages. but roma and juliette have a mysterious past together, filled w betrayal and all that good stuff.

so it's kinda enemies to lovers w forced proximity, but also second chance romance, kinda? there's also side character lgbtq+ rep as well! imo it's super good but i'm also biased because yes
