I have a hard time with retellings. I get the original story in my head and I get caught up on comparing the new story to the old one.
I like this twist on Romeo and Juliet. It’s modern, and fresh, with enough differences to set it apart from the original.
I like Arianne. She’s a little too innocent for me, but it works for the story.
I would’ve liked to have seen more feelings from Nicco, but he’s solid too.
I did find it a tad slow to start, but at the back end, it’s the supporting cast who make this book. Nora, matteo, enzo, Bailey, alissa, Luis, they’re great.
I enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the next one!
