These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong

Rating: WARTY!

"In 1920s Shanghai, Juliette must join forces with Roma, her first love and sworn enemy," Seriously? This is supposedly a retelling of Romea and Juliette, but why set it in Shanghai if you're going to use the same names? What are these two - American ex-pats? Why not? Because ancestors forbid we should actually have an original story or one without AAmericans in it! Yawn. And it has a sequel? Barf!
