Still Star-Crossed
by Melinda Taub
3.5 stars, but rounding up because I'm feeling generous and I'm in a Romeo and Juliet mood.
I was entertained by this book. The female characters were strong (well, as strong as they could be for the time period) and witty, and the story concept was engaging. The author's choice of making Rosaline a Capulet was interesting, and she was more likable than I expected (if I remember correctly, she was kind of a bitch in Romeo and Juliet, but I haven't read that in years, so I could be wrong). I'm glad it wasn't another retelling of the R&J story, because there are enough of those in the world, and a continuation of a well-known story is a great idea. Some of the "twists" were predictable, but that didn't bother me. I'd recommend it.
