3.5 ⭐️ What if Romeo & Juliet survived, lived happily ever after, had a ton of kids and their eldest daughter is a smart, witty and interesting young woman that has to casually solve a murder mystery while also trying to find a husband? Excuse me, that was such a fun concept for a book and combined so many elements that I love in a story! I would describe this book as "Bridgerton meets Belladonna" with the charme of a historical story and the fast paced thrill of a murder mystery. I loved our main character Rosie and how she tried to find her own place in the world while simultaneously being the daughter of THE blueprint of a couple for over the top romance and dramatic love confessions, which can be as exhausting as it sounds. Despite her parents being a little dramatic at times (what else could you really expect from Romeo & Juliet?), the family dynamics overall where really wholesome and made me smile quite a few times. The murder mystery also kept me invested, even though it might have been a bit predictable at times and the "big reveal" fell a little bit flat for me personally. I was also sometimes confused by the language used in the book as i felt like it was switching up between the language they would have used back in their day and the language we use today. It felt a bit inconsistent at times and threw me off at some points. I won't be getting into too much detail about the love interest(s), because of spoilers but let's say this: The obvious choice is not always the best, my sweet summer child.
