THE DAUGHTER OF FAIR VERONA
Christina Dodd
Thank you, Christina Dodd and Kensington Publishers for the early review copy. These thoughts are my own
I found this reimagining of Romeo and Juliet, if they hadn't died, told by their eldest daughter, Rosie to be mostly enjoyable. I loved Rosie as a character, especially when she would break the fourth wall and talk directly to the “dear reader” Also, tossing in modern language and phrases now and then was entertaining. Rosie’s romantic adventures were fun to read.
I did not, however, find the mystery to be very interesting. It had promise but it just fell flat. There were many sections that dragged for me and I'd have to put the book down for a bit.
Overall, it was a good read. I will continue the series to see what happens to Rosie and her betrothed.
