Book review: The Juliet Club

The Juliet ClubThe Juliet Club by Suzanne Harper

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Fun and exciting book. I was pulled into modern day Verona and couldn't climb back out until the end of the book thrust me back into reality.

Well, the descriptions of the town weren't that extensive and didn't really pull me into Verona, but I was definitely pulled into the story.

Lovely, lovely leading man... Italian Hearthrob all the way!

This book was well written and was a really fun read. Worth the time it takes to read it for sure.

It's especially fun because Ms. Harper brings in plot elements from a number of Shakespeare's plays and fits them neatly into a wonderful story full of tricks, and romance, and embittered shrews, and of course... play boys (in the strictly NOT bunny kind of way: This book was wonderfully clean).



If you enjoy Shakespeare this is a book you will definitely enjoy.

Book review: Gimme a Call

Gimme a CallGimme a Call by Sarah Mlynowski

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


meh.

I mean, the book kept me reading. And was sort of entertaining... I wouldn't call it a waste of time.

But I just came away feeling... meh. That's all. I can't really describe it any other way.

If you decide to read it, fine. But in my opinion, don't be expecting anything spectacular.

Fun enough.

But that's it.
