Every time I read Romeo and Juliet I tell myself 'it's just Shakespeare, it's super dramatic, you've read it a million times before, you're not gonna cry'
And then I cry.
And then I cry.

I know Goodreads hates this book for some reason, but there’s a reason it has remained a favorite for nearly five centuries.

Shakespeare you dirty, dirty boy. Crude, vulgar, and so much fun, Romeo and Juliet is nothing like the love story we like to imagine. Still a fun read, even if it is nothing like the story I thought it was. Rediscovering these characters as they really are was a lot of fun.
Everyone's insane and fucking dramatic. If it wasn't in the old English, the insanity might have even been enjoyable.
