so-so
#RonitAndJamil 🍀🍀 two clovers. I loved that this book was a diverse retelling of Romeo and Juliet BUT it just wasn't believable. In the original, it is obvious that R+J are madly in love and there's no way to deny this. But in the retelling (written in verse), the love seems forced and I don't buy it. I think an #OwnVoices story would have been 1000x better. As a reader, you can tell when the author knows what they're talking about.
