I thought this was a beautifully written story, and while the plot was a little confusing at times, I’ve found it has left a lasting impression on me (like the burns, haha!). I will definitely be recommending it!

Never met an Anna-Marie McLemore book I didn't love! A little sad there were no queer characters in this one, but lots of their more recent books have queer characters galore!

This is a Romeo and Juliet retelling so of course it has some tragedy in it. I really loved this and everything AM did with this story. I am VERY familiar with R&J because I've been teaching it for the last 5 years. I love the takes on it in this and the differences with how things were resolved. Also love love love the characters so much!
