Still the book does have it's slow moments. I actually really enjoyed this book! It's probably my favorite that I've read all quarter! The fact that it is narrated by the girl that Romeo was supposed to love was a completely different take on the classic that I never thought of before (mostly because I too am guilty of forgetting poor Rosaline).
If they like love stories, heart break stories, the story of Romeo and Juliet, then this is any easy one to recommend. I don't think it would take that much to sell it to them either. I think there is a large appeal to spin-offs and retellings, so I believe this would be a pretty good selection for many of my patrons. Note, some of the names in the novel were slightly changed (Rose= Rosaline, Rob= Romeo, and still Juliet= Juliet). When You Were Mine retells the Romeo and Juliet's love story through Rosaline's eyes. However, not many people, including myself, ever remember Romeo's first lover in the book, Rosaline. 4Q, 4P: Everyone knows the story of Shakespeare's Rome and Juliet.
