Description

THE NOVEL THAT INSPIRED ROSALINE—NOW A HULU MOVIE

From the New York Times bestselling author of One Italian Summer and In Five Years comes an intensely romantic modern recounting of the greatest love story ever told—narrated by the girl Romeo was supposed to love.


What’s in a name, Shakespeare? I’ll tell you: everything.

Rosaline knows that she and Rob are destined to be together. 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.

    Based on the author’s introduction, I knew where this story was headed. I continued nevertheless and am so pleased that I did. I have found my new favorite author! This is the second book of Ms. Serle’s I’ve finished in less than a fortnight and I’m headed to the next one now. So glad I discovered her!!

    I loved this book so much! I laughed and cried. It was a great story from a perspective that is rarely read.
