Everyone is familiar with the tragic love story of Romeo
and
Juliet. If you didn't not study or read it in school, you
have seen the movie. Rebecca Serle takes that
unforgettable
story of Romeo & Juliet, complete with love, feuding
families, and tragic ends. We get to see an entirely new
side to this well known story....Rosaline's story.
Rosaline Caplet, lives in Southern California with her
parents. She is a senior at San Bellaro High School, which
she attends with her best friends Charlie, Olivia, and
Rob.
Rose and Rob have grown up next door to each other for most
of their lives but the last few months, she has realized
that her feelings for him are more than just friendship.
Rob has always been a huge part of her life. They were
going
to college together, there we meant to be together.
But just as things start to come together for Rose and Rob,
Juliet comes back to town. Rose hasn't see Juliet since
they were kids. At the age of seven, a family feud had
come between Rose and Juliet's fathers that caused Juliet's
family to move to LA. Ten years later, they are back.
Juliet comes back not the friendly girl that Rose use to
know and love. She moves in on Rob immediately.
Rose develops a relationship with Len Stephens. The
scruffy,
annoying bad boy from school who ends up being assigned her
Biology partner. Len knows Rose devastated about Rob's new
relationship and tries his best to comfort her but also
show
her that maybe Rob was never hers to begin with.
With the writing of WHEN YOU WERE MINE Rebecca Serle wrote
an extremely heartbreaking, and
beautiful take on William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet.
There is so much feeling written in the pages....that you
will not want to put it down. Rebecca writes of Rosaline's
heartbreak, betrayals, and a new chance at love with
someone
she never even gave a second look to.
In this intensely romantic, modern recounting of the
greatest love story ever told, Romeo’s original intended—
Juliet’s cousin Rosaline—tells her side of the tale.
What’s in a name, Shakespeare? I’ll tell you: Everything.
Rosaline knows that she and Rob are destined to be
together. Rose has been waiting for years for Rob to kiss
her—and when he finally does, it’s perfect. But then Juliet
moves back to town. Juliet, who used to be Rose’s best
friend. Juliet, who now inexplicably hates her. Juliet, who
is gorgeous, vindictive, and a little bit crazy...and who
has set her sights on Rob. He doesn’t even stand a chance.
Rose is devastated over losing Rob to Juliet. This is
not how the story was supposed to go. And when rumors start
swirling about Juliet’s instability, her neediness, and her
threats of suicide, Rose starts to fear not only for Rob’s
heart, but also for his life. Because Shakespeare may have
gotten the story wrong, but we all still know how it ends….
