such a sweet book. Ring s true of adolescent feelings but in a beautiful nonjudgmental world . I especially enjoyed the friendships in it and the accurate portrayal of middle school crushes
Oh my goshhhh what an adorable read! Gemma and Mattie are great. The plot wraps up nicely and the beginning is such a clever allusion to its source material, you can't help but go "Awwwww adorable!" This is just so cute. Perfect for fans of Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda who want something just a tad more light-hearted and with a bunch more Shakespeare!
I just need to quickly squeal and hop around hugging this book for a couple of minutes. This book is Adorable. It’s cute, it’s geeky, it’s relatable & I thoroughly loved it!
Star Crossed is a middle grade read about Mattie - a young girl who realises she has a crush on Gemma just as she’s cast opposite her in the school play - Romeo & Juliet! With wonderfully sweet panicking about on-stage kisses, a constant stream of Shakespeare references & the fact that it not only treats Mattie’s crush on Gemma exactly the same as her crush on Elijah but ALSO uses the word bisexual (yes really!) made me so so happy to read. It’s truly a wonderfully sweet book!

Kudos to having a middle grade book with a bisexual character! I will suspend my disbelief of 8th graders putting on the play ROMEO AND JULIET--because the teacher convey's regret about its difficulty and describes well the tough language of this Shakespeare work--due to the fact that this sweet story totally won me over. Realistic and adorable.
This is SO CUTE. It’s everything I would have wanted as a middle schooler. I’m so happy books like these are being written now.
This sweet and witty middle-grade romance had me racing through it almost all in one sitting. It's amazing how astonishing a concept such as "an eighth-grade girl having a crush on another girl" can still be, but this book is much needed and well-executed. Charming use of Shakespeare and Star Wars references. A must read!
4/5⭐
I just finished my first book in Enligh (Spanish is my native language) and I loved it. I'm a thirteen-years-old and it was incredible how Barbara Dee wrote kids like us, kids. Not super mature or like 7-years-olds. How I was saying, it was confortable and warm.
But, It would be amazing more representation: black, musulman, other sexual orientation (well, they're thirteen and not every one know they're sexual orientation.).
If i wrote something incorrectly, please tell me. I'm practicing my writing :)
