Review

Plot – This book revolves around Megan Harper’s relationship mishaps, all while she is playing Juliet in her school play of Romeo and Juliet. I think it is an interesting premise for a YA romance novel. This book goes through Megan evolving and being able to finally see that she IS worth something, and that the other boys that just used her were all to get to a good end. Another frustrating aspect was when Megan still went for Will, even though she could tell there was chemistry between her and Owen. I felt really bad for Owen to stay by her during all of that and to listen to Megan after they broke up.

Characters – To be honest, Megan is one of those characters that can make me really annoyed. I understand being upset about family problems, but I get annoyed when the characters bring it up several times. I thought after she went to Owen’s house and saw that he literally takes care of his 10 year old brother, that she would realize that she doesn’t have it bad at all. Other than the complaining, I do like the banter between Megan and the other characters (especially Owen) – that’s what really keeps the story alive and entertaining. I love Owen as a character, it is rewarding to see the nerdy kid people don’t pay attention to blossom into this hardworking, witty young man throughout the book.

Overall, I found this book enjoyable if you want a kind of immature romance book. It will keep you hooked until the end. If there were less frustrating parts and Megan was a bit more mature, I would have enjoyed this novel more.

“Everyone’s an idiot like Juliet sometimes. Or everyone should be. Juliet dares to care about something. It makes her do crazy things.”
