Modern day Romeo and Juliet:

You know the story. Two families have hated each other all their lives, and continue the tradition by raising their children to hate each other. However, the children meet, not knowing the other is their enemy, and fall in love. It's a fresh spin on it- Kait starts a new school and feeling overwhelmed, spends her time writing in her journal. But who should she meet but a boy named Bram who also likes to spend his time in the shade, quietly drawing. The two are drawn to each other and all is going well until Kait finds out who he really is. Can their love overcome their family history? You'll have to read to find out!

Overall it's a cute story, and though I don't expect one, I'd love to see a sequel. There are show more a lot of loose ends still laying around when the story finishes and I'd like to see what else could happen in Kait and Bram's lives. show less

Scribbler of dreams is a heartwarming romance novel that is similar to Romeo and Juliet. The story has great description, and tells the consequences of keeping a web of lies. It is definitely one of my favorite books.

A modern retelling of Romeo & Juliet. Pearson's book was a quick read, though lack the real heartbreak found in the play that inspired her novel. It was all right, but nothing that I'd go out of my way to read again.

I see a Parabel in it. Pride and Predjudice wrapped in a story for young adults. Not everything is right, only because our family or other people say it`s right. In the end it was a little overdramatic, but the message came across.
I liked the adoration of Jenna Fox much better.
