A review by brandie_shanae
Roman and Jewel by Dana L. Davis

5.0

I am in love with this book. This book is a Romeo and Juliet retelling, but with a twist. This is a hip-hopera of Romeo and Juliet where this is a Broadway show of two individuals named Roman and Jewel who see each other and fall in love. It’s pretty much love at first sight. Now with the hip-hopera Roman and Jewel meet and soon realize that they have reincarnated and realized that they have loved each for centuries. Now the two people who play these two amazing characters is Jerzie Jhames and Zeppelin Reid. Jerzi loved everything Broadway and had auditioned for the show, but she was offered as the understudy of Jewel and the person that got the part was a famous r&b singer named Cinny. Though the only reason why she got the part in the first place is because she is famous and that with her in the show it would get publicity. Then we have Zeppelin Reid who got the part as Roman. Zeppelin is a compelling character who notices Jerzie and soon Jerzie notices him and they fall in love with each other. Now there is definitely more to the story, but I do not want to spoil you. But the teenage romance in this book is so cute and I do not to read it again.
