From the New York Times bestselling author of One Italian Summer and In Five Years comes a modern retelling of the most romantic love story ever told—from the perspective of the girl Romeo was supposed to love.
Rosaline knows that she and Rob are meant to be. Rose has been waiting for Rob to kiss her for years…and when he finally does, it's perfect. But then Juliet comes back to town. Juliet, who used to be Rose's best friend. Juliet, who now inexplicably hates her. Juliet, who's gorgeous and vengeful and a little bit wild…and who has her sights set on Rob. He doesn't even stand a chance.
Rose is devastated to lose Rob to Juliet. The story isn't supposed to go this way. And when rumors start swirling about Juliet's instability, her clinginess, and her threats of suicide, Rose starts to worry—not just for Rob's heart, but for his life. Because Shakespeare might have gotten the story wrong, but we all still know how it ends.
