It should be easy to do since the bar is already so low. So hopefully this will be a case where the adaptation is better than the original show. So far, I'm liking the changes I am seeing based on the trailer for the the TV series and I trust Shondaland to produce quality storytelling. Will love live on Despite the glooming peace thats settled on Verona after the recent tragedy, Montagues and Capulets are brawling in the streets. The only reason I continued pushing through the novel was because it will be a new series on ABC and I wanted to be familiar with the work the show is adapted from. I seriously got to the point where I was skipping through Rosaline and Benvolio's scenes because of how agonizing they were. In the end, all of Benvolio's verbal abuse wins him Rosaline's heart. The other gets her drunk and uses the rules of their misogynistic society to force her into an engagement of his choosing. One is a misogynist who calls her names and blames her for everything that happened in Romeo and Juliet, because she had the nerve not to love Romeo back. The love triangle features two men who are both jerks to the female lead, Rosaline. The romance is also painful to listen to. But the characters are poorly drawn and the mystery was predictable. The premise of this novel is incredibly interesting.
