Star-Crossed
by Barbara Dee
I just need to quickly squeal and hop around hugging this book for a couple of minutes. This book is Adorable. It’s cute, it’s geeky, it’s relatable & I thoroughly loved it!
Star Crossed is a middle grade read about Mattie - a young girl who realises she has a crush on Gemma just as she’s cast opposite her in the school play - Romeo & Juliet! With wonderfully sweet panicking about on-stage kisses, a constant stream of Shakespeare references & the fact that it not only treats Mattie’s crush on Gemma exactly the same as her crush on Elijah but ALSO uses the word bisexual (yes really!) made me so so happy to read. It’s truly a wonderfully sweet book!
