A very interesting retelling of Romeo and Juliet that takes place in a historical Shanghai puts the storyline in a more interesting light. Violent. Emotional. Secretive. Overall was medium paced until the end where I could not stop reading. The ending leaves you wanting to know more, leading well into the sequel.
