Rose has been waiting for years for Rob to kiss her—and when he finally does, it’s perfect. But then Juliet moves back to town. Juliet, who used to be Rose’s best friend. Juliet, who now inexplicably hates her. Juliet, who is gorgeous, vindictive, and a little bit wild...and who has set her sights on Rob. He doesn’t even stand a chance. Rose is devastated over losing Rob to Juliet. This is not how the story was supposed to go. 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. Because Shakespeare may have gotten the story wrong, but we all still know how it ends.

This book was a typical contemporarily tragic romance. There were elements of Romeo and Juliet but even if you don't know the play, it's a familiar story. Boy and female friend decide to date, another girl with some connection to the girl interferes and heartbreak and tragedy ensue. It was an okay book and if I were still a teenager, I probably would have enjoyed it more.
Not a bad read if you need a break from thick, intense books.
