What a cool twist on the classic, Romeo and Juliet! This story follows Helene, who is taking time for herself in Alaska to write a novel after filing divorce from her not-so-nice husband. She meets Sebastien, who oddly reminds her of her “perfect man”. How can he be real when she made him up?

The character development is great, and the author really has a knack for sensory descriptions because there were times I swear I was with Helene and Sebastien. I appreciated the dual perspectives, and “stories” within the story were a sweet addition. I started struggling to stay engaged in the story when the it takes us abroad, and I’m not sure why.

Solid 4 star book & I will recommend to others!

I was so excited to read this and I flew through it! It totally exceed my expectations. I haven't read a Shakespeare retelling novel before and I totally fell in love with this one. Evelyn Skye did an amazing job at keeping me hooked throughout the entire book. It was one of those stories where I wasn't sure what was going to happen next. I really enjoyed the formatting of the book and that it wasn't divided up just by chapters but by the character's point of view. The whole idea behind the book was interesting and fresh to me and was executed very well. The way she wrote about the past lives and loves while also keeping up with the current story was amazing. Everything was interwoven perfectly and I was able to keep up with each and every detail. I hope that those of you who get your hands on this book enjoy it just as much as I did!

This book was the perfect retelling to span across space and time, bringing Romeo and Juliet to life in a beautiful way. Also, very partial to the fact that they’re adults in this, as the ages and timeline of the original Romeo and Juliet always irked me growing up. This book was wonderful and I have to recommend to anyone who loves Shakespeare, or a good retelling in general.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book in return for an honest renew.

If your favorite romance troupe to read is ‘star crossed lovers’ this book is for you. The book follows the story of Romeo and Juliet..well kinda. Romeo doesn’t die alongside Juliet as Shakespeare once told. Instead, he falls in love over and over again with Juliet reincarnated. This particular story follows Helene and Sebastian and the history of all the past lives they have experienced together and the fear of will they or won’t they be able to break the inevitable curse.

I received an eARC from NetGalley and Del Rey Publishing.

This sci-fi-ish romance was better than I thought. Romance is not my usual genre, but I was pleasantly surprised and quite enjoyed this book. Romeo Montague is immortal! And he meets Juliet reincarnates throughout his long life and they all end in tragedy. The latest “Juliet” is named Helene. And that’s all I’ll say about the plot. I liked the twists that kept the plot engaging and the side stories of all the past loves. You can tell the author is a book enthusiast as libraries, bookstores, and even titles of books I’ve read and loved popped up throughout. A solid read and may have jump started me into my sci-fi romance era.

Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read this eARC!

I'm not sure what it is, but something didn't click for me. This is the 2nd book I've read by this author that I'm giving a poor rating. I was so excited for a Romeo and Juliet retelling but the writing was so off for me. It was either super cringe or so sugary sweet it made me roll my eyes.

*Thank you to Penguin Random House, Evelyn Skye and Netgalley for providing me with a E-ARC of "The Hundred Loves of Juliet" in exchange for an honest review *

This was a witty, fresh retelling of "Romeo & Juliet". I am not the hugest fan of Shakespeare's play, but I am a sucker for any kind of retelling. I thought that Eveyln Skye did a great job.

OH MAN. Shakespeare is great, and this rendition of Romeo and Juliet's story is so captivating. I thoroughly enjoyed this book of past lives, interwoven loves and the message at the end. I feel like Evelyn Skye did such an incredible job navigating a...tired tale. Romeo and Juliet is not exactly the best work of art Shax wrote, but I will say that she did it justice. I loved the way she described Shakespeare through Romeo's eyes and how his tale was wrong in the end. Halfway through the book I was like "dang, there's no way she's going to be able to end this." Lo and behold, she ended it PERFECTLY.

Gosh. Its a truly magical book. I'd recommend this one to a lot of people that have very varied interests. Some hits:

1. you don't need to love Shakespeare to love this book.
2. it's a romance and it seems like EvErYoNe loves romance.
3. easy read, perfect amount of pages.
4. the ending isn't predictable!
