In this intensely romantic, modern recounting of the greatest love story ever told, Romeoβs original intendedβ Julietβs cousin Rosalineβtells her side of the tale.
Whatβs in a name, Shakespeare? Iβll tell you: Everything.
Rosaline knows that she and Rob are destined to be together. Rose has been waiting for years for Rob to kiss herβand when he finally does, itβs perfect. But then Juliet moves back to town. Juliet, who used to be Roseβs 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 doesnβt 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 Julietβs instability, her neediness, and her threats of suicide, Rose starts to fear not only for Robβs heart, but also for his life. Because Shakespeare may have gotten the story wrong, but we all still know how it endsβ¦.
