STUNNING. This was dramatic, tragic, moving, beautiful, and just delicious. I loved what Olivie Blake did with the elements from Romeo and Juliet, and how she created her own world and story. It feels very unique. 

I wasn't immediately into it, it took me a little while, but from one moment to the next, I was fully immersed. I thoroughly enjoyed the juicy drama between the families, the plotting and twists, the intense romances, and how things played out in the end. 

The writing is BEAUTIFUL. Like, holy shit! I highlighted so much and I'm pretty sure I would highlight and underline so much more on a reread. I loved this. Finally, a good book after a few duds back to back!
