pickFound 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. 🥹
pickI really enjoyed this R&J retelling, which centers Rosaline's POV. Sure, it takes a bunch of liberties and they may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it was a great new viewpoint to read Romeo as a Very Bad Man. I didn't love Tybalt's characterization but seeing the Friar in a new light was fascinating and chilling. Now I need to go search for every Rosaline-centric work out there! #BooksAndBlooms

so-soThis retelling of 'Romeo & Juliet' had a great deal of promise & it looked like an intriguing read. Unfortunately it didn't quite work. Most of the characters were quite flat including Romeo, whose whole personality was his being in love with Juliet.
Runajo & Juliet were by far the more interesting storyline but even there I don't think the full potential was utilised. (continued)
panI‘m confused as to what I just read. The opening chapter was magnificent. premise was nice; oldest daughter of Romeo/Juliet tries to navigate. Then she falls in love at first sight. The whole murder mystery was ok, just wasn‘t enough to take up the plot. Which had like 2-3 things going at once. Was disjointed. Rosie felt like a coin flip on how she feels about being forced to marry. The whole romance here was all over the place.

bailedThis was disappointing. I was hoping for another fun murder mystery set in a continuation of a well-read world, like Mr Darcy & Miss Tilney. Unfortunately it did not live up to expectations. I guess I didn't like the writing style. Or the characters. Rosie starts off supposedly as a mature older girl who knows she's not interested in love but then immediately falls in love with a random man (like she'd been teasing her parents about) ⤵️
