By, like, page 3 I knew I was going to like this book, but on page 371 I knew I loved it. "'Siri, play the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack,' she calls out. The Des'ree song comes on. It's perfect. I recall the fish tank scene in the movie. Baby-faced Leo in his chain mail and Claire with her half-pony and raver-girl angel wings gaze longingly at each other, separated by glass. It's so weird to me that June's never seen this movie and how I have no idea what she pictures when this song comes on."
