Sometimes a reader just needs something light, easy reading and contemporary, which is why I had fun reading When You Were Mine. While nowhere near as good as the original, it was still an enjoyable read. But since it was a 2012 debut and a retelling of Romeo and Juliet, I thought I'd give it a chance. I was debating whether or not to read When You Were Mine because there were some bad reviews on GoodReads. Because Shakespeare may have gotten the story wrong, but we all still know how it ends… (from GoodReads) And when rumors start swirling about Juliet’s instability, her neediness, and her threats of suicide, Rose starts to fear not only for Rob’s heart, but also for his life. 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 crazy… 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. In this intensely romantic, modern recounting of the greatest love story ever told, Romeo’s original intended-Juliet’s cousin Rosaline-tells her side of the tale.
