Romeo's Ex: Rosaline's Story by Lisa Fiedler

1.0

DNF before page 50; the attempted Elizabethan style of speech was clunky, often trying to Shakespeare-ize modern expressions with poor results. Also, it was kind of annoying making Rosaline a healer's apprentice, mostly because it seems like that's the only 'independent-minded lady' job that seems to show up in these period YAs; it's a tired trope now. I liked that Romeo was portrayed as kind of an idiot instead of the Great Romantic Hero, but after picking up hints of increasing silliness from a few other reviews, I'm comfortable dropping this right now. I have too much else to read.
