Juliette and Roma are too much.
Too much in a positive way because they are freaking adorable and I couldn't stop rooting for them.
Too much in a negative way because they are still based on the Shakespeare play and have to do all the dramatics of that.
However, the best thing happening in this book is Benedikt and Marshall. They were definitely worth the wait.
The plot of the story is based on someone blackmailing both gangs, and because of it, the patriarchs make Juliette and Roma work together. It feels forced in places. There could have been some trimming of heavy politics. However, overall this is a worthy sequel to one of the best YA debuts of the pazt few years. If you haven't, read this duology.
