First let me just say that I have only the most basic knowledge of Macbeth. Like I could maybe give you a two sentence summary, but if you say 'modern day lesbian retelling' then I am THERE. So I'm sure there were a lot of little Easter Egg type things I missed throughout this but I think it is still a very enjoyable book even if you aren't that familiar with the original. My only complaints are really more about my personal taste than the book itself, and that is both that it was maybe a little bit TOO Y.A. for me [aka all these kids are REALLY catty and shallow] and also that I think it would have been better as a straight up contemporary retelling without all the actual ghosts [but also maybe that was a reference to the original? Again, I'm not really familiar with it]. But overall it was a really interesting read and I loved the diversity and the history in it!
