Critic reviews

"There are many things to love about this retelling of Shakespeare's ROMEO AND JULIET, and Sheila Atim's narration is one of them.... Atim's tonal variations and vocal range allow listeners to relax and examine this new perspective.... Sheila Atim is a gifted and experienced actor, and her narration highlights her skills and the suspense of the story beautifully." (AudioFile)

Fabulous

Loved this clever untelling. Made me feel so much better about Romeo and Juliet the play, which has always felt wrong.

Fabulous “untelling”

I’m a huge fan of this author after stumbling on her works through Audible. This newest novel did not disappoint. I kept wondering how the story would be different and recalling Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Highly recommend. Loved the interview with the actor who performed the novel. She was the perfect fit. Enjoy!
