Have you ever wondered what happened after Romeo and Juliet? This book answers that question. An enjoyable story that I liked better than Shakespeare's classic. Benvolio and Rosaline's love story is much better.

I did love the mini series. Thought it gave us a different view of the story. I haven't read the book yet.

I love Romeo and Juliet. But I will never understand why so many couples want to compare relationships to the star-crossed lovers. They meet, fall in love, wed, and die in a matter of days. Why not aspire to have a relationship that withstands hardship? Romeo and Juliet gave up. #shakespeare #romeoandjuliet #yalit

FINISHED! This book is absolutely amazing, whether you love Shakespeare half as much as I do or simply enjoy a book filled with witty banter between the couple who profess to loathe each other but everyone knows they're actually madly in love. Absolutely a must read. I'm definitely excited to see how the rest of the TV show handles these characters and THOSE INSANE PLOT TWISTS!!!! 💕📚#Shakespeare #stillstarcrossed #melindataub #romeoandjuliet

The feud between the Montagues and the Capulets is quite a #DeadlyPassion. #Death #Characters2017 #JuneBookBugs

Has anyone else watched this new show? I'm not sure what I think about it... But I am tempted to read the book.

AndreaReads I only watched the first episode, and I hated it. Now, that may be because I teach Romeo and Juliet every year to my freshmen, and I was really bothered with the changes in the story... 7y
Blueberry I'm enjoying it. I don't mind the changes just enjoying a classic being highlighted. 7y
Jilljemmett I watched the first one and it was okay. I'll probably continue watching it. I didn't know it was a book though!! I'll have to look for it! 7y

This was amazing!! I love Shakespeare and retellings (or in this case: a continuation) is just perfect and this story was in every way perfect.

I don't even like Romeo and Juliet. Too cliche. But I could get behind this love story for ever it was that amazing ♥️

5⭐️

PS- I did NOT enjoy that pilot episode last night. Did anyone else watch it?

Enjoyable post-Romeo and Juliet mystery. Not particularly grand literature, but I enjoyed it.

Boy, did this hit all of the right buttons for me! A spunky, clever heroine, the married-against-their-will romance trope I have a particular weakness for, an action-packed finale, and complicated relationships. The dialogue was awkward at times, but nothing that took away from the story. ★★★★☆.

CURRENTLY READING | Benvolio & Rosaline were LITERALLY the only sensible people in that ENTIRE play, so this should be interesting...

When I heard Queen Shonda Rhimes has a new show based on this, I had to get my hands on it ASAP (side note: peep the trailer). Taub is brilliant & writes Shakespearean dialogue that sounds authentic w/out being cheesy. Rosalind is a BAMF. Marry me Benvolio. Got completely caught up in this book!
