review 1: You might look upon Romeo with different eyes after reading this. Leveen's story is emotional in a way that Shakepeare didn't portray. Even the cover hums with the richness, the decadence, of the story within its pages. I love the way that this story takes such a different spin on the classic romance that we all know and love.

Interesting idea, some characters well-drawn, but sometimes seems too modern.

Brilliant and beautiful. Leveen is one of the best "accidential novelists"!
