No seriously....
We still have character names Like Tybalt and Mercutio, Romeo and Juliet. It's not so much about love but rather about friendship. That makes it easier for storytime/
The only thing is that there is a LOT of dialogue. If using in a storytime, I would try to find places to shorten it!
