MY THOUGHTS ON THE BOOK:

I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars. I have mixed feelings about this book I liked it but didn't love it. I like that finally we  get to know more about the mysterious girl that Romeo left for Juliet, and we get to see if she had a happy ending or not. I wish she would have given a different ending to Rome & Juliet but we all know how that story goes. In overall this book is a fun read and has a very good plot and keeps you turning pages if you are into crazy love triangles, drama, and tear jerkers you should definitely pick this book up.
