I could predict how it would happened from the first few chapters.

It was enjoyable, but it was too predictable. So where’s the starcrossed part? The angst? The desperation? This is no Romeo and Juliet. That’s basically the summary of the book, in a paragraph. And when things cool down, after everything is done, they live happily ever after. Rosaline and Benvolio work together to solve the murder, and they eventually fall in love. But there’s a series of murders that killing both Montague and Capulet, and making them at each other neck. The prince and the families actually give them their blessings. They hated each other, and they aren’t star-crossed. Prince Escalus has a great idea of uniting House of Montague and Capulet to stop the feud, by marrying Rosaline and Benvolio together. They aren’t in love, and there’s nothing star-crossed about this romance. Rosaline and Benvolio despises each other. They both fell for each other on first sight. But I know how the story goes, I mean who doesn’t? So I’m so excited to read a somehow another version about the most famous love story ever.įirst, don’t be fooled. I never read Romeo & Juliet, nor I ever have watch the movie. This book has been on my tbr list for so long. This homage to the classic Shakespearean tale of Romeo and Juliet will have readers pining for a star-crossed love of their very own. The fight to the altar is about to happen. In fair Verona, enemies still walk the streets. Soon to be an ABC TV show by producer Shonda Rhimes! Still Star-Crossed follows the aftermath of the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet, as mysterious figures in Verona are determined to reignite the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets.
