Star-Crossed by Rachael WingSTAR-CROSSED is the perfect book for all the girly girls out there. It is a simple read with the right amount of imagination but your feet are kept firmly on the ground by its realism.
The main character is Jen Anderson who loves Shakespeare's play Romeo And Juliet. She has always dreamed of playing the character Juliet so when her English teacher tells her class the school will be putting on a performance of the show, she's thrilled.Better still, she thinks all her dreams have come true when she auditions and gets the part. Then she learns that her worst enemy, Chris Banner, has been given the part of Romeo.
At first she is determined to hate him because of the history between their families, but then her teacher tells her that there is a fine line between love and hate.In the book Jen constantly asks herself: does she love or hate Chris? If she loves him, does he love her? How will their families take to the news of their relationship? This is a well-written book by a young author who has conveyed how young people really feel about school and how students act differently in school.
Every issue written about in the book had the right amount of detail and emotion.
