This is not how the story was supposed to go.

Rose is devastated over losing Rob to Juliet. Juliet, who is gorgeous, vindictive, and a little bit wild.and who has set her sights on Rob. Juliet, who used to be Rose’s best friend. Rose has been waiting for years for Rob to kiss her-and when he finally does, it’s perfect. Rosaline knows that she and Rob are destined to be together. What’s in a name, Shakespeare? I’ll tell you: everything. I know tragedy can happen any time, but as someone who experienced the suicidal of a close friend/classmate two weeks before high school graduation, I think this book could have done a little bit better job of a slightly less morose conclusion, showing a little bit more specificity of the main character beginning the process of moving forward.THE NOVEL THAT INSPIRED ROSALINE-NOW A HULU MOVIEįrom the New York Times bestselling author of One Italian Summer and In Five Years comes an intensely romantic modern recounting of the greatest love story ever told-narrated by the girl Romeo was supposed to love. I don’t care if it makes me sound shallow, but I am happy that Rosaline (the film based (very) loosely on this book) did not take the same tack as this novel. A little more life and vocal expression in that department could have improved the delivery. The narration was okay, but tended to slip into monotone quite a bit.

I know anyone can ask what I thought would happen since it’s a Romeo and Juliet story, but it strayed from other aspects of the story so I had no reason to think the ending would be so grim. I know it’s a pastiche of Romeo and Juliet, but yikes! SPOILER AHEAD: I foolishly figured that because the title was YA, that the ending might be a little bit of a bummer, but I didn’t think it would go full on mass destruction. I came to this title after watching the film Rosaline. I know it’s a pastiche of R&J, but yeesh…
