Romeo's Ex: Rosaline's Story by Lisa Fiedler

4.0

This re-telling sheds new light on the classic of Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare. Seeing the events through Rosaline’s eyes, the reader learns more about the subsidiary characters, rounding out the original tale. The actual plot both changed in some major ways, but also keeps important scenes intact. Overall, it stays true to the spirit of Shakespeare, but allows Rosaline to become a strong female protagonist that teen girls can identify with. The only difficulty with the book lies in the writing style as it mimics Shakespearean prose; this may turn reluctant readers off.
