Summary
Add a SummaryRomeo, a young man ruled by his emotions, finds that he has caught serious feelings for a young girl named Juliet, who is to marry a man that she does not feel for. when both Romeo and Juliet find that they have a love they can't deny, they marry in secret.
Romeo and Juliet love each other. Their parents are rival families. They can't be together, but fight to stay together anyways.
i also read the translations of the book. in the beginning it already tells us tat romeo and Juliet commit suicide in the end of the story and i have not yet finished the book. romeo meet Juliet at a mask party but they weren't wearing mask's and they made out on the first day they meet. romeo would sneak out at night to Juliet's balcony and they would talk till the sun rises. the continuing u would have to read yourself, tragedy comes when romeo gets abandon and had to leave and Juliet had to fake his death by drinking a vial but she thinks tat there's poison inside and it would kill him.
Mara Valentine is in control. She's a straight-A senior, a vegan, and her parents' pride and joy. She's neck-and-neck with her womanizing ex-boyfriend for number-one class ranking and plans to kick his salutatorian butt on her way out the door to Yale. Mara has her remaining months in Brockport all planned out, but the plan does not include having V, her slutty, pot-smoking, sixteen-year-old niece -- yes, niece -- come to live with her family. Nor does it involve lusting after her boss or dreaming about grilled cheese sandwiches every night. What does a control freak like Mara do when things start spinning wildly out of control? With insight, authenticity, and a healthy dose of humor, Carolyn Mackler creates an evolving Type A heroine that every reader will recognize -- and root for. From the author of the award-winning The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things comes the racy story of an overachiever who learns to get over it -- and get a life.
Quotes
Add a Quote"Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, where we lay our scene, from ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes a pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; whose misadventur'd piteous overthrows doth with their death bury their parents' strife. The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love, and the continuance of their parents' rage, which, but their children's end, nought could remove, is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; the which if you with patient ears attend, what here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend."
O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?

This book really helped me get into my Juliet character for my play! Very helpful. Thanks Shakespeare
a standard we were asked to read for school
I don't quite understand what all the praise for this piece is about. I find the love between Romeo and Juliet, for lack of a better word, stupid. They do stupid things, they make stupid choices and die stupid deaths,.
It is an outstanding piece of work!
great re-read of the classic. I read it again because my daughter is interested in it.
I enjoyed reading Romeo and Juliet because I thought that the story was so beautiful and the prologue was wonderfully well written. By far the best Shakespeare book I've read.
even though i didnt read ths yet i bet ill be great b/c rite now in skool im acting out the play
This book is hard to read but very good. It is actually very short when you read into it. I suggest using sparknotes to read it. It really helps. Dont use sparknotes if you dont want to understand the "strange" parts if yah know what im saying ;O
i luv the story of romeo and juleit
