would love to go two pages without the author reminding me that it’s inspired by romeo & juliet
3.5 I found the turn of events interesting, albeit a bit predictable. The relationship between the two main characters had potential for much more intensity especially because of the reasons they both had of hating each other. Despite that, the setting sucked me in and it was all in all an enjoyable read.

Occasionally good retelling of West Side Story (not Romeo and Juliet) with several glaring plot holes yet the only one ever cleared up in text is why the Chinese main character would have an English name. Clumsy mystery but decently executed romance, generally deeply ok but mostly frustrating. Also, read this via audio book and the narrator has two voices to use for men and women with a secret third one for Juliet so none of the emotions ever seem to come through. There’s literally a part at the end where someone is meant to cry “no” in deep anguish - a fact I only know because that’s what the text says, it’s certainly not how the narrator delivered the line.

aku suka sekali buku ini (dan sepertinya aku akan suka juga keseluruhan seriesnya).
sebuah retelling dari kisah Romeo & Juliet, namun dikemas dengan Shanghai di tahun 20-an sebagai latarnya.
suka banget sama tokoh-tokoh di buku ini, suka sama dinamika hubungan antar tokohnya.
ceritanya juga gak ngebosenin buatku. sangat refreshing dan bikin penasaran.
