Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Elise

In Saving Juliet, Suzanne Selfors masterly connects a modern day world
with that of Shakespearean Venice, Italy. The take that she took on the
classic tragedy was very interesting. The characters in Mimi's Romeo and Juliet
differ quite a lot from what's printed in Shakespeare's play, and I
really enjoyed the exploration of the famous characters in a different
way. I would've liked to learn more about Mercutio. I think if we had,
his fate would have made a bigger impact.

Mimi's narration was
witty, funny, and easy to relate to. The fact that Suzanne Selfors
didn't follow the exact plot line of Shakespeare's version kept me
interested the entire time. I felt like the ending was a little too perfect, but it didn't bother me too much.

Overall,
this is a fun and enjoyable read. Some may call it cheesy, but the
cheesy aspects are easily looked past as you delve yourself into the
depths of the story.
