Still Star-Crossed
by Melinda Taub
4.5 stars. This came across my radar after I heard about the ABC show earlier this summer, and I decided to read this first before checking out the show. I'm glad I did, because while I liked the show, I found the book to be far superior (and it also has the benefit of not ending on a cliffhanger). I'm not a huge Romeo and Juliet fan and don't remember it well since I read it freshman year of high school which was a million years ago now, so Shakespeare purists might have more issues with the plot than I did, but I really enjoyed it. Benvolio/Rosaline was such a good romance — my favorite kind of enemies to friends/partners to lovers, with both doubting the other's feelings and angsting over one another until they finally figure things out. It was just really lovely and made me really happy.
