The Hundred Loves of Juliet by Evelyn Skye
3.0
The Hundred Loves of Juliet was a heartbreaking yet heartwarming, beautiful story about how love is endless and not even time or death can break it. A bit cheesy at times, but wonderfully written, the alternating perspectives between Helene and Sebastian paired with flashbacks and "vingettes" from both of their perspectives add depth, detail, and insight into Romeo & Juliet's story like you haven't heard before.
It reminded me a bit of Fallen by Lauren Kate, The Time Traveler's Wife, and Outlander. I loved the settings, the descriptions, and the characters. Helene's optimism and Sebastian's grief were tangible, as if I was experiencing them myself.
3/5 stars to The Hundred Loves of Juliet - it would be 4 stars, but the pacing was a bit off, and one of the tropes can be difficult for some readers.
