4.0

Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No

I will say that for the first half of the book, I wasn’t super invested. I thought the premise was fun, and the Shakespeare tie-ins were silly, but in a likable way. As it went on I found myself more and more invested, (mostly because I kept thinking ‘is this…..lgbt?) and by the end I was a huge fan, and even went to see if anyone had taken a stab at a fanfic sequel online. I loved the twists and turns and characters.
