kellyhager 's review for:
Star-Crossed
by Barbara Dee
Mattie is in eighth grade and is super psyched that their class play is Romeo & Juliet! She never really thought about acting before but decides to try out. She gets cast as Paris but her two best friends are cast, as well...and her new friend Gemma is playing Juliet! Things get complicated, though, when Mattie realizes that maybe she doesn't think of Gemma as just a friend...
This book is completely adorable! I love Mattie, Tessa and Lucy. They are great friends and I really want a book from Tessa's perspective (she collects and uses Shakespearean insults. Who wouldn't want to be her friend?!).
The realization that Mattie has a crush on a girl is handled sensitively and it's a super sweet crush. (And they're in eighth grade so it does make sense that it would happen now.)
Warning, though: this will make you want to watch the movie. Recommended.
