"Rosaline won't let anyone or anything get in the way of her future as a healer. that is, until she meets Benvolio. Where Romeo's words had been hollow and fickle, Benvolio's are filled with sincerity and true love. Now Rosaline find herself caught between her feelings, her ambition, and her family's long standing feud with the Montagues. When Romeo turns his affections towrds Rosaline's cousin Juliet, their relationship brings the feud of the two house to a new level. Rosaline and Benvolio hatch a plan to bring the two families to peace. But will they succeed?"
Romeo and Juliet is one of my favorite plays by Shakespeare and this compliments the story very well. Though the author changes the story a lot, it is still recognizable. I think that I like Rosaline better than the Juliet that Shakespeare presents even. This was a cute, quick read. The author also wrote Dating Hamlet.
