Wow. I honestly don't think I have formed a single coherent thought about this book since I finished it. This book and this story was incredible! I loved Juliette and Roma and all of the side characters you really got to know and love throughout the story. My two small things I didn't love were that I wish we got to know more of what Roma was thinking and that this book was a little slow. It is a SLOWBURN let me tell you and it took a little for me to get into. BUT, you know I love a good slow burn and boyyy was it worth it!!! (the tequila scene?? iykyk) I loved the tension and angst that formed between the two throughout the book and little glimpses of the past. And THAT ENDING?!?! I need the sequel like two weeks ago!! Fans of Romeo and Juliet retellings will enjoy this one! this book consumed my every thought for weeks even though I wasn't actively reading it. I would think about the characters, think about the story, and my jaw was on the floor for the last 30 pages or so. UGH ANYWAYS!! Give this book a chance and make sure you push through he first 100 pages or so, it is WORTH IT!!!
