This has got to be the easiest 5 stars I've given a book in a while. I loved this story so much and although my feelings for each character were, to put it lightly, 'complicated', I still felt protective of everyone of them.

At first I was skeptical about the plot and where it would take me. But as I read and even predicted what would happen, I devoured every page with as much desperation as the character's love and hatred of Shakespeare.

"Do you blame Shakespeare for any of it?"
"I blame him for all of it."
