Waiting On Wednesday (10)

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine, where we spotlight the books that we are eagerly anticipating.


When You Were Mine by Rebecca Serle
Published by Simon & Schuster UK
Released: 1st May 2012



What's in a name, Shakespeare? I'll tell you: everything.
Rosaline knows that she and Rob are destined to be together. Rose has been waiting for years for Rob to kiss her--and when he finally does, it's perfect. But then Juliet moves back to town. Juliet, who used to be Rose's best friend. Juliet, who now inexplicably hates her. Juliet, who is gorgeous, vindictive, and a little bit crazy...and who has set her sights on Rob. He doesn't even stand a chance.
Rose is devastated over losing Rob to Juliet. This is not how the story was supposed to go. And when rumors start swirling about Juliet's instability, her neediness, and her threats of suicide, Rose starts to fear not only for Rob's heart, but also for his life. Because Shakespeare may have gotten the story wrong, but we all still know how it ends.
I love the sound of this book, and I re-read the kid's version of Romeo and Juliet possibly 100 times over when I was younger. It's really interesting to see the story turned around like this, and I can't wait to read it. 
What are you waiting on?
