Not exactly "Hamlet," but not bad for a Sweet Dreams book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Shakespeare it isn't, but by Sweet Dreams standards, "Star-Crossed Love" comes closer than most to achieving the spirit of the Bard. Drama queen Blair Young takes center stage in this theatrical novel about finding true love -- even where you least expect it. The story follows Blair's dramatic travails from her painful audition for the school's production of Romeo and Juliet, to the show's predictably successful performance. Raising the novel above mediocrity is the adept depictions of the novel's secondary characters, including Blair's sweet, but timid best friend Frances; cute, but dense Romeo Shane Lawson; clownish, but sensitive Mercutio Charlie McGuire; and Blair's rival Juliet, the beautiful, but insecure Margie Mason. Flawed, but likeable, none of the novel's characters, including Blair herself is depicted as entirely good or entirely evil, as is so often the case in such novels. The novel's only real drawback is its tendency to insert superfluous descriptions and dialogue, including interesting, but unnecessary literary commentary on Shakespeare and too-long sequences describing the high school basketball team.
