I wasn't sure what to expect from this retelling but I ended up really enjoying it. The entire book was filled with an eerie sense, and that spine-tingling feeling that something is wrong, and the dread when you begin to realise Romeo's behaviours before Rosaline does. 

I think using Rosaline to expose Romeo's character and having this as the focus rather than the traditional star-crossed-lovers tragic ending was so much more well-suited to the modern age and made for a really interesting story, and Rosaline as a character was the perfect protagonist. She's naive but quickly learns the harsh reality of the world, and experiences so much of what women still go through today that even in this historical setting you felt like you could really understand and relate to her and know what she was going through. 

A fantastic retelling of a classic which both manages to capture the original whilst completely being its own story too.
