...In Falling for Romeo, you have your two main characters Jennifer and John. Jennifer is this beautiful blonde goddess, who every guy likes but are too intimidated by her to ask out, because they feel she's too good for them. John is the most popular guy at school that every girl wants to go out with,every guy wants to be friends with, and every teachers favorite student. He's also a perfectionist. Jennifer and John used to be best friends then they drifted apart. They're always trying to compete with each other and let pride get in the way of the feelings they have for each other. Now Jennifer is playing Juliet in the schools play and guess who's playing Romeo? If you guessed John then you were right on!
...I read this book for a quick simple read, and that's exactly what it ended up being. It was OK. First lets talk about the bad things. It failed to describe exactly how they drifted apart, it could have helped us understand John better and why he even stopped being friends with her in the first place. I also disliked that the author Jennifer Laurens named the main character Jennifer after her. I just thought that was kind of weird. Also there was no resolution between John and his father, no lesson learned there, which makes me mad cause there's suppose to be a lesson learned or a point to every story. The author also completely dropped the character Alex, even though he did play a big part in the rising action part of this book then was completely forgotten. Towards the end of the book around the climax, I was like OK what happened to Alex is he not going to get slapped? Because he really does truly deserve a slap on the face. And a kick in the b----!
...The romance part was great though. You could feel the heat and chemistry between John and Jennifer. The kisses were HOT and had me wishing to be kissed like that. I didn't have very high expectations for this book, but the romance part of it ended up being better than I thought it would be, that's why i gave it the three stars. It was a fast and simple short read. Something you read at school in between classes or at lunch. Overall I liked it, but if you are a reader that likes to read books with a purpose I do NOT recommend this book for you. This a book that's just short and sweet for entertainment.
