Enter the Body is written in a unique way that still tells an immersive story in a unique way. Enter the Body retells a select few of Shakespeare's most tragic stories from the view of how the heroine wished her life had happened. We have Juliet, who seems to be pushing force. Cordelia whose story is probably the most influenced by her listeners and Opehlia who retells her story with a mix of wish and realism.

It's not told in typical written fashion, but a mix of poetry and scriptwriting. Cordelia and Ophelia both keep tragedy in their stories but Juliet is pure fantasy as she is still just a child and helps the others remember their youthful hope and optimism.

Juliet's story was my least favorite, but that's a mixture of my own cynicism and the face that everyone lets her get away with believing she is an exception to the rule of how the world works. Overall a great read, that because of the way it's written goes by fast.
