Elyse isn't sure if she's up for the task of playing Juliet in her high school play of Romeo and Juliet. Her best friend, Brynn, is the one with more experience in the spotlight. But when someone shows he believes in her, Elyse gets caught up in a web of secrets and lies that could have horrifying consequences.

Gabe wants to break up with his high school girlfriend, a controlling and manipulative girl named Sasha. But she's not going to let him go without a fight.

This is a story of obsession and the lengths people will go to in order to get what they want.

Despite being able to figure out early on where the story was headed, this was still a "can't put it down" type read. To me that's the sign of a good book, you pretty much know what's going to happen but you still want to see it all play out. I thought the author did a good job with the back and forth narration between Elyse and Gabe. The story had a good flow and never felt disjointed when switching to a different character. The only real criticism I have is I wasn't a huge fan of Sasha and her story line. At times it really made me question the plausibility of some of her actions. Overall though, this was a good read and I definitely recommend if you like young adult fiction.
