My only issue is, my god, the main character can be infuriating at times. She is extremely obstinate and would rather fight than take a moment to think. I found myself reeling over some of the decisions she makes because she is just so hot headed sometimes. While infuriating, though, at least it’s refreshing that these characteristics are exemplified in a female character. The other characters are quite lovable. I particularly enjoyed the lighthearted back and forth and complicated friendship between the Mercutio and Benvolio characters.
Overall, a fun read that delightfully mixed one of my favorite plays with an exciting and mysterious plot, interesting characters, and a rich historical setting.

this book speaks on colonialism, racism and white supremacy, murder, betrayal, politics, and other humanitarian topics but somehow oversimplifies and brushes off those topics to follow a clumsy mystery where our romeo & juliette must work together despite their previous murderous betrayals. see, the thing about shakespeare’s romeo & juliette is that the reader wants to root for them. roma & juliette cai aren’t likable characters that i felt didn’t actually love each other.
i could go on, but honestly there are many other reviews i’ve seen that correspond to the way i feel, so i won’t beat a dead horse
