William Shakespeare

Brett Wright

An uproarious adaptation of Romeo and Juliet is told entirely in smartphone texts, emojis, location check-ins and relationship status updates. By the creators of srsly Hamlet. Simultaneous eBook.

OMG, this book is :D. Okay, but really, it is so well-done. The nuances of character are clearly communicated through the nuances of language, such as use of capital letters(too many or not enough), text-speak, emojis, the way older people tend to sign texts, etc. Brilliant and hilarious. I hope my freshmen enjoy this even a fraction of the amount I did (and much more than my fiance did, since he clearly thought I had lost my mind as I giggled madly reading this book).

Let me be honest: I have not read the original Romeo and Juliet story, nor do I remember ever watching a movie adaptation or reading a retelling. It's not my kind of story, but when my friend handed me this book and told me to read it while he and my best friend were getting food (which took an hour), I immediately dove into it and finished it before they returned. (I literally timed it, and it took me exactly thirty minutes).

This is honestly both the best and worst retelling of Romeo and Juliet and I loved it. Just the fact that someone thought to make this... *chef's kiss* I think I might read the other retellings this guy has made of Shakespeare's works now.

A gift from one of my students. Very funny at times, inappropriate at others. Pretty good.

Fun fact, I purchased this book while searching for a collection of Shakespeare's plays for school, and I'm so glad I did! Having read Romeo & Juliet before, I found this texting twist hilarious and I can't wait to read the rest of the series! Needless to say, this book got me out of my reading slump (finally).
