Book was pretty good, but I stopped reading it because there were just far too many innuendos.

So-so
Romeo's Ex is predictable, but tweens and younger teens will enjoy it. There is little to be concerned about, but Romeo and Juliet's romance, Tybalt's death, and similar topics are discussed.

My Favorite of all Time
Rosaline is a healer. She’s also Juliet’s cousin. And she is constantly dogged by the annoying Romeo. But everything changes on the day of that brawl… the day she met Benvolio. But things get even crazier at the masquerade ball. That’s when Romeo meets Juliet. The day after the ball, Benvolio and Rosaline come up with a plan to end the Montague and Capulet feud. But things don’t go as intended, and blood is spilled. Will Romeo and Juliet’s ‘courtship’ destroy everything? Or will Rosaline and Benvolio’s plan ruin it first? This story was a spin on a classic tragedy. I believed that the Shakespearean language was a little challenging to comprehend, but otherwise, it was fantastic. I liked how you could see the different perspectives of the characters. This book was interesting and it immediately caught my attention. While some may believe that this story is an insult to the bard's legacy, I disagree. This story encouraged me to read the true Shakespeare plays, even though I may not be able to comprehend it. It gives a nice twist to the end of the story, and I liked how Lisa Fielder changed the character's (Romeo and Juliet’s) viewpoints, from desperate to selfish. The author’s message was heart- warming: Rosaline spoke of the true meaning of love. I couldn’t put this book down!
