Commentary In Favor Of Books Romeo's Ex: Rosaline's Story

Shakespeare's classic retold from another perspective

Rosaline won't let anyone or anything get in the way of her future as a healer. That is, until she meets Benvolio. Where Romeo's words had been hollow and unfounded, Benvolio's are filled with sincerity and true love. Now Rosaline finds herself caught between her feelings, her ambition, and her family's long-standing feud with the Montagues.

When Romeo turns his affections toward Ros's cousin, Juliet, their relationship brings the feud of the two houses to a new level. Rosaline and Benvolio hatch a plan to bring peace to the two families. But will they succeed?

Critique Out Of Books Romeo's Ex: Rosaline's Story

DNF before page 50; the attempted Elizabethan style of speech was clunky, often trying to Shakespeare-ize modern expressions with poor results. Also, it was kind of annoying making Rosaline a healer's apprentice, mostly because it seems like that's the only 'independent-minded lady' job that seems to show up in these period YAs; it's a tired trope now. I liked that Romeo was portrayed as kind of an idiot instead of the Great Romantic Hero, but after picking up hints of increasing silliness from

I thought that it was interesting the way the author worked in more plays by adding Characters from both "Twelvth night" and "The Taming of the Shrew." Though it is true that Patruchio is indeed from Veronia anyway and so was not hard to work in.But I did not like the lack of Continuity. Juliet's sleeping potion is the same one from Fiedler's earlier book "Dating Hamlet." But in that book the potiion needed a waking potion to counteract it; instead in this book Juliet merely awakens on her own.

This is a fairly straight re-telling of the Romeo and Juliet story from the perspective of Juliet's older cousin Rosaline, Romeo's first love. Rosaline has no interest in Romeo, and in fact no interest in love, as she wants to become a healer. As the story unfolds, Rosaline gets entangled with Mercutio and Benvolio (her forced confusion between the two seems to make little sense, plotwise, as it doesn't go very far), as well as her cousin's tragic tale. This book blew hot and cold for me, though

This was one of the first retellings of Shakespeares classics I thoroughly enjoyed. In high school, while other teens swooned about the romance of Romeo and Juliet, I was more interested in the side characters and their perspective on the famous tale of star-crossed lovers. This is a story for those interested in romance, even forbidden love, but who also desire to watch it blossom between young adults who can be rational and are not driven solely by their hormones. This is the story of Romeo

I COMPLETELY loved this book! I loved Rosaline' s perspective; it was such a fine twist on Shakespear' s classics Romeo and Juliet

Rosaline is NOT in love with Romeothat simpering, lovesick, ANNOYANCE. In fact, she has no interest in falling in love or getting married or any of that. Nope. Shes going study medicine. Commit herself to science. And she isnt going to waste her time on the feud between her family, the Capulets, and their archenemy, the Montagues, either.She really couldnt care less about of the Montagues.That is . . . she couldnt until the brawl. Where she gets hit on the head. And rescued.And now, well, there

One of the better "reimaginings-of-Shakespeare-from-the-viewpoint-of-a-marginalized-female-character" genre. I always wondered what happened to Rosaline. She was clearly smarter than Romeo, ("O, she well knew thy love did read by rote, that could not spell".) I had this fantasy that while R&J were embracing the "love-devouring death" thang, Rosaline was secretly reconnoitering with Benvolio. Think about it: they are the only clear-eyed, level headed rationalists in a play full of melodrama
