So, shortly after writing All the Broken Pieces, I wrote a modern YA Romeo and Juliet retelling, only from Rosaline’s point of view, showing everything that happened to her after she screwed up her life for Romeo, only to find out he’d snuck off with her cousin Juliet. I recently opened up Losing Romeo and have been working on getting it revised and polished. Rosaline and Bryson are one of my favorite couples I’ve ever written, and I hope others will enjoy their story as well. Which is why I’m happy to announce that I’ll be releasing Losing Romeo soon! I’m aiming for the beginning of December.
Now, for one of my favorite parts: cover reveals! Here’s the beautiful cover (huge thanks to Allie Brennan!) and the blurb for Losing Romeo. I’ve added it to Goodreads and you can follow the link below to add it to your shelves if you’d like to. THANKS & hugs! 🙂
Rosaline Capulet takes a pill Romeo Montague gave to her in a love letter and
goes to the Capulet Party to find him, the last place she hopes she’ll end up
is jail. Before taking the drugs Romeo gave her, Rosaline’s never done anything
wrong in her life. So she doesn’t understand how her only mistake lands her a
one-way trip to the middle of nowhere, Arkansas, forced to live with her aunt,
the threat of military school hanging over her head. She’s ruined her life, all
over a boy who disappeared from the party with her cousin Juliet.
Mercer’s motocross career was destroyed the night he was attacked, his knee
shattered. Now he can no longer race, the thing he loved most in the world, and
has to walk with the help of a cane. He’s kept to himself for a long time, but
then Rosaline moves in next door with her aunt. Even though Bryson’s sure the
girl’s trouble, as well as out of his league, he can’t deny his attraction to
her.
more time Rosaline and Bryson spend together, the closer they get, and they
both find themselves doing the one thing they said they’d never do again—fall
for someone. Meanwhile, Romeo and Juliet’s relationship is igniting the Capulet
and Montague feud back in Verona, and people are getting killed. Rosaline’s
starting to think losing Romeo was the best thing that could’ve happened to
her. But when the words she speaks to Juliet lead to a chain of devastating
events, the repercussions might tear not only her family apart, but also make
it impossible for her and Bryson be together.
