A review by poisonviolet
Rouge by Greer Rivers

dark emotional

5.0

Wow! When I picked up this book I had no idea what I was getting into. I hadn't heard anything about it and read the back. I knew then that this book would consume my life! I am a massive Moulin Rouge! fan (film & broadway) and the references melted my heart! The theater kid in me is also insanely excited to get my hands on Greer Rivers other books which are also retellings of Broadway shows. Seriously, how have I not heard of these?

I was worried with this being a dark romance that I wouldn't like it as much, not because of it being a dark romance (I have nothing wrong with it), but because it is a retelling of a story I had fallen in love with so long ago. I was wrong. Yeah, sure, there were a few moments where I was like 'blah, get a room' but I am also very lonely so take that as you will.

I am excited to read more of Greers books in the future! This is a book I can see myself re-reading over and over just as I listen to the soundtrack and watch the film over and over.
