Vibes were exquisite, made me want to read shakespeare, loved the characters, plot made sense without being predictable. The pacing was also great, I think this would be a good book to get out of a reading slump. Only reason it’s not 5 stars is bc I’m stingy with 5 stars and it didn’t have a deep personal impact on me lol
The ending

Further warning for a student/teacher relationship - never framed as a bad thing as far as I can tell.charlotteregan's review against another edition

Everything about this book was so poetic.
“Well, that’s misleading. Shakespeare is real, but his characters live in a world of real extremes. They swing from ecstasy to anguish, love to hate, wonder to terror. It’s not melodrama, though, they’re not exaggerating. Every moment is crucial.”
I AM TERRIFIED, AMAZED, AMUSED, CONFUSED, AND BAFFLED.
I am not supposed to be over-analyzing a book but WHAT THE FUCK.
I have not read any of Shakespeare’s works but this book was soooo GRIPPING. I WANT IT SHOVED DOWN MY THROAT AS HARD AS POSSIBLE. PLEASE.
The jealousy, the assholes, the cruel ending, the murder, the characters GOODNESS EVERYTHING MADE ME WANNA THROW MYSELF.
“You can justify anything if you do it poetically enough.”
YES ! YES ! YES !
5 STARS.
