I didn't think that I'd like this book as much as I did. Romeo and Juliet was never my cup of tea, but this was a fun interpretation. The names were slightly altered so a fan would be able to pick them out, but it didn't feel as though it hampered the story in any way. I loved the food, the familial tension, and the take on the classic Capulet and Montague feud. The book is infused with culture from the casual spanish to the way she describes Chicano Park. It's a heartfelt ode to Latino culture with a steamy romance on the side.
