“Shouldn't a girl get to star in her own love story?
Seventeen-year-old Megan Harper is about due for her next sweeping romance. It's inevitable—each of her relationships starts with the perfect guy and ends with him falling in love . . . with someone else. But instead of feeling sorry for herself, Megan focuses on pursuing her next fling, directing theater, and fulfilling her dream college's acting requirement in the smallest role possible.
So when she’s cast as Juliet (yes, that Juliet) in her high school’s production, it’s a complete nightmare. Megan’s not an actress, and she’s used to being upstaged—both in and out of the theater. In fact, with her mom off in Texas and her dad remarried and on to baby #2 with his new wife, Megan worries that, just like her exes, her family is moving on without her.
Then she meets Owen Okita, an aspiring playwright inspired by Rosaline from Shakespeare's R+J. A character who, like Megan, knows a thing or two about short-lived relationships. Megan agrees to help Owen with his play in exchange for help catching the eye of a sexy stagehand/potential new boyfriend. Yet Megan finds herself growing closer to Owen, and wonders if he could be the Romeo she never expected.” - taken from Goodreads.com
Once again I was blown away by these authors’ story. Set against the backdrop of a school production of Romeo and Juliet, Megan Harper, aspiring director, is the school's biggest flirt. All of her ex-boyfriends have gone on to find true love after their relationship end. So she never takes her relationships very seriously. Now with college on the line with the need for an acting credit on her transcript and her family situation is in for some dramatic changes, Owen Okita is the last boy she would usually fall for.
When Megan sees Will building a set for the play, she decides that he will be her next boyfriend and it list Owen’s help in the end ever. Ever the rehearsal of the play, Megan begins to realize that she deserves to be happy and some of the best things in life are right in front of her
