THE JULIET CLUB: Suzanne Harper: Greenwillow: Young Adult: 402 pagesHigh school student Kate wins a writing contest that sends her to Verona, Italy for a summer Shakespeare seminar. Kate’s sworn off love after breaking up with her boyfriend Jerome and plans to focus solely on her studies in Italy, but when she and handsome Giacomo pretend to fall in love as a prank, Kate’s resolve to avoid romance wavers.
This is a sweet romance structurally reminiscent of a Shakespearean play with its love tangles, scheming protagonists, and romantic hijinks. Shakespeare fans will appreciate the nod to several of the Bard’s plays, but the story’s enjoyable on its own as a modern teen tale.
