I have always enjoyed books that take a traditional story--- and rewritten it for the current times. 
 This is the story of Romeo and Juliet--- the "real" Romeo and Juliet who inspired Shakespeare's story and the story of a modern day woman living in the US named Juliet who has an obsession with the play and then finds out after the death of a family member that she is related to the Tolomeis (Juliet's family). The modern Juliet returns to Siena to figure out her past and every other chapter has the "real" Romeo and Juliet telling their story. Part mystery, part love story, I was not 100% enthralled, but it was an interesting read. 
 My beef with this book was a lot of the details were un-believable. Juliet and her twin Janice hate each other at the beginning of the book and the author writes it so that even the reader hates Janice and then when she is involved in the book later--- all is forgiven. Also some details that come up that seem pretty urgent and important are forgotten so a character can enjoy dinner or go to a dinner party, while the reader is left wondering what happened to the mafia head.... I feel like the story needed some edits to make the reader believe it a little more. 
 Read if you enjoy different interpretations of R&J.
