A review by extraordinarystardust
Roman and Jewel by Dana L. Davis

5.0

I was SO LUCKY to read an eARC of Roman and Jewel.

This book was absolutely delightful. It was such an easy read and made me so happy. Every character is so exuberant and unique. The banter was one of my favourite parts and Jerzie’s inner monologue made me laugh out loud so many times.

My number one piece of advice is to not read the synopsis at all and trust me. It’s a Romeo and Juliet retelling about a Broadway Romeo and Juliet retelling. It’s fun, tense, mysterious, hilarious, and full of angst.

This YA contemporary Romeo and Juliet retelling is perfect for anyone looking for a book to drag you out of a slump!

Overall I’m giving it 4.5 stars the ending felt a tad rushed and I wish we got to see more. I loved every page and I hope everyone reads this when it comes out!! January 2021!!
