I didn’t know what to expect from this book but the twist and turns kept coming until the very end. It’s a nice refreshing take on Romeo and Juliet and I appreciate the parallels to the original but I still couldn’t anticipate anything that was coming.

This book from the beginning just did not catch my full attention. I also felt like 50-100 ppages worth of information or scenes could've been deleted. The Romeo/Juliet star crossed lovers thing, meh. Also 1920s Shanghai is not the enviornment or culture I was getting throughout the book, as it seemed to be placed in present day. The "madness" was actually interesting. The book just felt like a mish mesh of multiple different things going on including the characters with their uniquely different back stories.
