This week's pick is Roman + Jewel by Dana L Davis
If Romeo and Juliet got the Hamilton treatment...who would play the leads? This vividly funny, honest, and charming romantic novel by Dana L. Davis is the story of a girl who thinks she has what it takes...and the world thinks so, too.I love that this isn't technically a Romeo and Juliet retelling even though it is based around one. I love the idea of taking a Shakespeare play creating something new and different out of it. It sounds awesome and I love stories that are set in the entertainment world. It is about time we got more books set in the theater world specifically.
Jerzie Jhames will do anything to land the lead role in Broadway's hottest new show, Roman and Jewel, a Romeo and Juliet inspired hip-hopera featuring a diverse cast and modern twists on the play. But her hopes are crushed when she learns mega-star Cinny won the lead...and Jerzie is her understudy.
Falling for male lead Zeppelin Reid is a terrible idea--especially once Jerzie learns Cinny wants him for herself. Star-crossed love always ends badly. But when a video of Jerzie and Zepp practicing goes viral and the entire world weighs in on who should play Jewel, Jerzie learns that while the price of fame is high, friendship, family, and love are priceless.
This doesn't come out until the winter, but you can add it to your holiday wishlist as a pre-order item or save those gift cards to purchase it after.
Expected release date - January 5, 2021
