When I heard this book was a retelling of Romeo & Juliet my first thought was sign me up! I live Romeo & Juliet so was really excited to read this one. I don’t know why I waited so long to read it.

I don’t think I read the synopsis when I bought this book. I didn’t realize there was a fantasy side to this story, which didn’t take anything away from it, but I did want to point it out for anyone who might expect something different like I did.

I thought the story started off slow, and I did struggle to get into it at first. Once Roma and Juliette start interacting more, I ended up really enjoying the story. I look forward to reading book two.
