http://lisleslivres.blogspot.com/2012/10/review-when-you-were-mine-by-rebecca.htmlI'm a huge fan of Shakespeare's original Romeo and Juliet, so I was really interested in the premise of this title. I had never heard of any book on Rosalind, only Juliet. So, I read it. It was okay. I was a little...
I love the premise of this novel. I've adored Romeo and Juliet since junior high, but I've never thought it was the greatest love story of all time. I mean, it's horrible and sad, there is no happy ending... but I think that's partially why I liked it. For anyone who actually paid attention as they ...
****MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS****This book had my full attention as soon as I read the description. Finally! Someone who remembers that Romeo was all in love with someone else at the beginning of that horrid play! What this awesome author does is take The Tragedy of Romeo & Juliet and set it in modern t...
I was really excited to read this book because this was the book that my newly formed book club voted on reading for our first book club meeting.

I found When You Were Mine to be realistic, funny, and heartbreaking. From the first page, I knew this would be something I would enjoy. Ever since I first read Romeo and Juliet, I was interested in Rosaline. I found myself seeing the story from her point of view a lot, so when I heard there was a b...
Once there was a girl before Juliet. Not many people know this. Her name was Rosaline. She was the niece of a Capulet and though a silent character, she was an important one. She is the beginning that sparks the now infamous couple of history: Romeo and Juliet. If it weren’t for Rosaline, our belo...
Gentle reader, I wish to spare you my suffering. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury this book, not to praise it. When You Were Mine is awful. It is not simply awful it is bitter, stupid, sexist, and above all a lie.Actually, no. The worst part really is how grossly sexist...
