This book was so cute!! I don't usually like Romeo and Juliet Retellings, but this one was written so well that I fell in love. The fact that Angelo was constantly there for Mariana, telling her that he was there if she needs someone, just made his character ten times better. I'm not gonna lie though the Texan references kept throwing me off (and I am from Texas.. they just felt really cheesy). Overall, this was a great book. :)
