Cute, lighthearted comedy about a teenage actress (Mimi Wallingford) who is facing stage fright on closing night of a performance of Romeo and Juliet. She is magically transported back to Verona, Italy and meets the real Juliet and interferes enough in the plot to give the story a happy ending. (  )saillergirl | Jun 3, 2009 |   A cute and short book, Saving Juliet is worth the time to sit down and read. My favorite thing about it was the humor throughout the story. And how some one FINALLY gave Romeo and Juliet a happy ending- and perhaps a more realistic one. I always did think the characters seemed fake. (  )Shebakune | May 22, 2009 | Interesting because of the tie to Romeo and Juliet, but otherwise I thought it was contrived and a little cheesy. An anxious 21st century teen actor and her co-star are magically transported into the play. (  )saplin | May 11, 2009 | I really enjoyed how this book ended up. At first, I was a little sick of the whiney main character, but throughout the book she really grew into herself. Basically, the plot is that she is performing in Romeo and Juliet, as Juliet, and is having some serious nerves. A necklace her aunt gave her (with the ashes of Shakespeare's quill inside supposedly) shatters and she and her costar - a pop star who she both loathes and wants - are transported into Romeo and Juliet - only this time, things happen a little differently. Overall, I really enjoyed the book. ( )knielsen83 | Mar 5, 2009 | This is a very fun take on Romeo and Juliet. It would be an interesting companion to the play in an English class, in addition to West Side Story. While the book stands alone, it means more reading it after the original play. lbernheim | Aug 22, 2008 | 0.391 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0802797407, Hardcover)Mimi Wallingford, Great Granddaughter of Adelaide Wallingford, has the life that most girls dream about, playing Juliet opposite teen heartthrob Troy Summer on Broadway in Shakespeare’s famous play. Unfortunately, she has no desire to be an actress, a fact her mother can’t seem to grasp. But when she and Troy are magically thrust into Shakespeare’s Verona, they experience the feud between the Capulets and Montagues first hand. Mimi realizes that she and Juliet have more in common than Shakespeare’s script—they are both fighting for futures of their own choosing. Mimi feels compelled to help her and with Troy’s unexpected help, hopes to give Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy a happily-ever-after-ending.
