If neither story drew you in though, it would be hard to stick with it. <br /><br />mz - Let me know what you think when you get around to it!<br /><br />Casey - I think it would have been really easy for Fortier to have the past portion of the story be a simple retelling of R&J, so I think I appreciated her variations from Shakespeare all the more! I could definitely picture her narrative being the inspiration for Shakespeare!lisa :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11429572773434109490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285552714359981402.post-11756066771027426422011-06-09T13:23:21.054-05:002011-06-09T13:23:21.054-05:00It sounds good.

I've never been a huge Romeo and Juliet fan as I prefer my books to have a little less romantic death and a little more happiness, but this sounds great. <br /><br />Jen<br /><a href="http://www.intheclosetbibliophile.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">In the Closet With a Bibliophile</a>Jen (@ Jens Book Closet)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02339586413882184139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285552714359981402.post-14617772563345122672011-06-08T12:52:49.150-05:002011-06-08T12:52:49.150-05:00I enjoyed this one as well -- especially the flash...I enjoyed this one as well -- especially the flashbacks.

Then I read the first few pages and something about it didn't jell with me. I debated on whether or not to read on and see if my feelings changed.
