Not as exciting or interesting as I'd hoped, the characters lacked depht and motivation and felt more like puppets to take the story where the author wanted it to go. A bit disappointed.

I was once again influenced by Instagram when buying this book. 
it was okay but the big hype that this book had is not understandable. 
it is a Romeo and Juliette rendition set in the 1920 in Shanghai. 
I liked the idea but the plot idea with the sickness and the monster wasn't for me. 
the only reason I read the second book is that I already own it.

You would not have to read Romeo & Juliet to enjoy this re-casting of Shakespeare's not so very original. I had fun with the echoes, but this story goes in so many new and unusual directions.
