LOVED this book omg. Really enjoyed that rather than a retelling it was just taking Romeo and Juliet as inspiration then created something unique out of it. Also the 5 act structure was immaculate. This needs to be used more as it’s so effective. I forgot how good it is and it also makes sense that this book is written like a play as it’s inspired by Shakespeare. Had no idea what was going to happen after a certain point, which I really enjoyed as it’s rare that a book plot can surprise me. So yeah! Loved !
