How can I tell if it’s my gut talking or my myriad of anxiety disorders?
Even through a big, long reading slump, I really enjoyed this freeform retelling of Romeo & Juliet. It's a queer m/f romance (one of the leads is bi, the other still hasn't found a label that fits her) with a focus on mental health and co-dependency. I felt like both subjects were handled thoughtfully and realistically. There were a lot of familiar moments here, reminding me of the mistakes I made when I was younger.
It took me a bit to get used to Jubilee's narrator. On the other hand, Michael Crouch won my heart immediately with the way he handled Ridley's chapters. He did a great job making Ridley's anxiety and depression tangible in each line. I also really liked how the texting chapters were handled, with the audio effects and with both narrators present.
