Do yourselves a favor and keep playing this untill you discover the secret character, it makes the experience even better!

I loved North's previous book so much that this one almost crumbled under the weight of my expectations. The two are so similar that it felt as if there weren't that many new ideas in it. Don't get me wrong, it's still amazing, witty, funny, charming, feminist and exciting. But it doesn't take your breath away like the first one did. Maybe it's because I read them fairly close to one another. If I'd waited, let's say, a year after reading To be or not to be, I might have loved Julied and/or Romeno just as much. But some of the glamour was lost. It's still a great book though. (

I first heard about this book on the All the Books podcast. I was intrigued so I immediately put it on reserve at my local library.

This book is fantastic! Funny, clever, delightful, and at times had me laughing out loud.

I started the book by choosing to be Juliet. I played through a few of the options, played around with Romeo, and even ended up being Juliet's nurse!

I also liked that if you wanted to know (more or less) how the actual play turned out, you could do that as well!

So, if you've had the itch for a grown-up version of Choose Your Own Adventure, this will satisfy that itch! (
