The writing was okay, I didn’t connect with Ophelia. I knew from about 30 pages in there was a chance I would have to stop this book. Inappropriate and very odd is about 50% of the book. I would’ve liked it much more if it actually focused on the plot instead of guys chasing Ophelia around and trying to look up her skirt. I skimmed from there to see if there was anything else, and it was graphic at the end and I knew it wouldn’t be worth it.
2/10 wouldn’t waste your time.

I really love retellings of my favorite characters (if they are done well). This one is fantastic. I've always found sympathy with Ophelia, and many of my views of Hamlet go against the grain. This novel gives new life to the story, and I appreciate the extra dimensions it adds to an already thick plot. It was very well written and fun to read. It's screaming for a sequel, but I don't think the author would go for that. I highly recommend it, but you really need to read Hamlet first. I can't wait to dig into more of this author's stories.

I love in between the lines stories, or different POV stories. I loved R&G Are Dead and Ophelia is no exception. A great addition to the tale of Hamlet.
