Lol, see? There's a romantic in all of us!

Two star-crossed lovers, divided by last name, united in love. There's no clear bad or good, right or wrong side in this play, just a couple trying their hardest to make it work. And, of course in cruel irony, they become the poster children for premature death. And, in between it all is a deep web of sociopolitics, timing, and motives. No wonder most high schoolers have read this in school, because it definitely teaches many lessons. This play is a bit hard to understand, due to it being written in the 1590's, so I would recommend it for an older age group. It also lightly touches on slightly mature themes. However, once you can understand the words of Shakespeare, it truly is a time-withstanding love story.

The dreamy sunset cover, soft and inviting, spoke to me when I was just a fourth grader with my mom's money at the school's book fair. I read it, and of course, loved it. Now, many years later, on summer break, the same book had that air that invited you to read it. And even from a more matured point of view, the book still hit. The main character, Charlie Reese, kicks people and yells and says mean things. Yet, somehow she's still so lovable and you just want to wrap her in a hug. Her family is separated, perhaps being the root of her behavior, and life throws so many curveballs that her life is upside down. But, like a gift from heaven on four legs is Wishbone, an adorable stray to be by her side through it. And, of course, there's the always forgiving Howard. Because kids were so cruel to him that he became the kindest. And between losses, lessons, and endless love, there just is so much good spilling from this book.
