november 2021 reread: THE AMOUNT OF PARALLELS BETWEEN TVD AND OVE JUST INSANE
original review august 2021:
i would give this book 10 stars if i could. i can't find the words to express how much i adored it. it is so incredibly well written, the plot kept me interested from start to finish, every twist was more unexpected than the other, and don't get me started on juliette and roma's love story. our violent ends is now my most anticipated release of the year, i cannot wait!!!!

chloe gong's writing really shines through in this book. the way she uses the shakespearean play the book is inspired by and turns it into a captivating story using chinese history is so well done and i feel like her characters really shine through in this. juliette and roma are both not necessarily good people, but their flaws make them feel relatable and real. not only did the characters feel alive, but the setting did to. when reading, i could imagine walking around the streets of this mystifying, dangerous Shanghai. and let me tell you, i LOVE when i can imagine my own little motion picture in my head as im reading
this is probably one of my most heavily tabbed books :) going to be sad when i finish the secret shanghai series because i love all of the characters, both individually and together.
also really loved all of rosalind's appearances, having read foul lady fortune before this. my girl <3
