Welcome to Litsy!

Found all but one of February‘s #WickedWords in the tagged book. Candles, but no damn candlesticks 😂 Also this book was a unique take on retelling Romeo and Juliet. I loved it. 🥹

☕️here‘s to a “strong” day 🤣

♥️

Unique, romantic, timeless, and lyrical. You have to suspend disbelief for this time-bending love story that reimagines Romeo and Juliet as a love story that never really ends but is reincarnated through the centuries. I recommend this for Shakespeare fans, romantics, anyone who loves an unusual novel that also somehow seems universal. So good! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

When you're in the mood for something sweet, give this a try. After the pain and suffering in my last few books, this was just what I needed. 💖
Should be called the hundred loves of Romeo, though.

It's our last morning at the cabin. 😢 Soon, we'll have to pack, clean, and head home, but first, a couple more hours of reading. 😀

My hold came in from the library!
Can‘t wait to start this one for book club!

🌟🌟🌟 read. And the reason for this is twofold for me. 1) the author didn't take ownership of a Romeo and Juliet retelling. She leaned into it. Mash-up of the Time Travelers Wife/Romeo & Juliet but didn't fully commit. And 2) the writing itself was not absorbing. I really wanted to love this but yeah...I wouldn't avoid it totally but also wouldn't rush to get it. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

Fun, romantic, and more of a thrill ride than I expected, even if the story felt a bit pat on occasion. The concept of Juliet reincarnating over and over again was right up my alley - just wish Skye had leaned more into her and Romeo /actually/ being cursed. A good summer book! #romance #womensfiction #urbanfantasyadjacent

With such an interesting premise, a retelling of Romeo and Juliet where Romeo (Sebastien) was immortal and Juliet (Helene) reincarnated, this held promise. Sebastien believes he is cursed, as every life of Juliet‘s has died tragically shortly after they meet. He sets out to avoid Helene, but of course fate intervenes and they are thrust together.

The delivery and the writing left me wanting and Sebastien and Helene lacked chemistry.
