I really wanted to love this book, but I didn't. I didn't hate it, but I didn't really like it very much. 
 This book reminded me so much of Abandon by Meg Cabot, the only difference being I didn't want to bang my head on the table like I did with that book. It's told from Juliet's perspective and she tends to repeat her thoughts A LOT. She's basically sent to inhabit various female bodies through time and help soul mates come and stay together only this time, things are a bit different and more challenging, which Stacey Jay is determined to beat into your head over and over. Yes, Romeo was the cause of your death and you hate him with a deathly passion, we get it! No need to repeat the same thoughts and lines over and over again to add fluff to the book. The theme of love and soul mates was ever-present and although I liked the secondary characters like Ben and Gemma, I found it difficult to believe in the love and emotions that were swirling around between all the characters. There was no real depth there and I found myself saying, "Really?! Just like that now?!" a lot. 
 I did, however, enjoy the nice twist of Romeo & Juliet's story, especially how Stacey Jay incorporates exactly where Shakespeare got the idea for the story. You see a different side of both characters not typically seen in the original story or various retellings. Juliet's character, despite the repetitiveness, was strong and determined and I especially enjoyed her interactions with Romeo, who was a fierce and mysterious character I had a love/hate relationship with. There's this once scene in the beginning between Romeo & Juliet that I loved and really made me believe this could be a great book before I read the rest and wasn't so impressed. But, that scene, when they meet again for the first time in their new bodies, was great and quite possibly the highlight of the whole book. 
 The book does have its merits and I'm sure some will find it worth reading, but personally I'm glad I didn't give into temptation when I saw it that one time at the bookstore and instead won it in a giveaway because I don't think it would've been worth the money. You'd be better off borrowing it from the library or a friend. I'm still on the fence about whether or not I'll be reading the second book, curiosity might win me over, but it won't be at the top of my list.
