I would read this again right now to be fair, I just adored this world, felt so of its time and as someone who has lived in Leicester I really appreciated that setting. I'm a bit of a sucker for Romeo+Juliet so I really just ate this up. Thought it was quite romantic and passionate and I just loved being immersed in the 2000s whilst reading

A GCSE read that I ended up falling in love with.
Very much a Modern day Romeo and Juliet!

Meh. A decade ago as a teenager I thought this book was the bees knees - a modern day Romeo & Juliet. The writing is fair but the storyline was poor. YA has come pretty far in the last decade and I guess I feel that this was just too juvenile for me to enjoy on any level. The ending was predictable, cheesy and sad. There really wasn't any resolution. The whole book just fell a little flat for me which was disappointing as I'd really loved it upon first reading it. I guess some books your heart holds onto no matter how old you get and others you simply outgrow.
