Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
4.0

Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book is CHAOS. I didn't have the "typical" teenage experience of falling in love and all of the stuff that comes with that, so this book was an eye-opener for me. 

I was not a fan of Romeo as a character, but I have a tendency to be wary of teenage boys due to my time at secondary school so that isn't exactly a surprise to me. However, I loved Juliet. I felt a kinship with her, as she reminds me a lot of myself when I was younger.

But the events kept on getting increasingly dramatic so I was sitting there wide-eyed as it all went down. I love it when Shakespeare does chaos, I always get a kick out of it.
