panI always thought Romeo and Juliet was a little absurd. Two 13 year olds fall in love in 2 weeks then commit suicide because their parents cannot get along. Shakespeare had a flair for the dramatics so I shouldn't be surprised that a retelling would be just as absurd. Elise and Jamey's story burdened my spirit because it's not at all a true image of love. I was very disappointed by the vulgarity. #bookreview #whitefur #bookworm #bookish
This is my TBR for this month and I'm already halfway through White Fur. I'm not exactly enjoying it but I've read too much already and need to know what will happen to them in the end.

Any recommendations on what I should read next? Finishing up White Fur shortly. Would love some help deciding! #tbr #whitefur #womanno17 #todaywillbedifferent #thewakingland #tornadoweather #readingwithpatrick #janeunlimited #thelightinsummer #amillionjunes #marlena
Book of the Month club arrived the same day my dad mailed me wrapped boxes of my favorite chocolates. ❤️Floored by Jardine Libaire's writing style- the detailed fragments and the attention given to the secret goings on of a relationship behind closed doors, the gritty passion of a young first love. I devoured White Fur in two sittings. #whitefur #jardinelibaire #bookofthemonth
Have any of you read #WhiteFur yet? I haven't gotten to it yet but I also haven't heard that much feedback about it! The synopsis definitely sounds intriguing though!
so-soI had a really hard time with this book. I found myself skimming through some of it, and thinking WTF! through other parts. I know it's supposedly a 're-make' of Romeo and Juliet, but the writing style just wasn't for me. I did have the feels for what Elise goes through growing up, and what she has to endure while being with Jamey. It's a good book, just not for me.

WHITE FUR is not a straightforward R&J retelling, so don't let me accidentally lead you astray. I'm only a few chapters into this tale set in the 1980s NYC (not Verona), but so far, it's gritty and raw. Sort of feels like Baz Luhrman's R&J meets La Boheme-esque RENT (less AIDS though and more cocaine) with a touch of Chuck Palahniuk frankness. It's a pretty crazy mix. 😜
