Julie And Romeo 
asked by noreason on November 16, 2006 12:33 AM
Julie Roseman has known since childhood that she's supposed to loathe, despise, and distrust all Cacciamanis (though she's never known exactly why). And the Cacciamanis feel exactly the same way about the Rosemans. So Julie's more than a little surprised when she runs into Romeo Cacciamani and they get to talking- and a romantic relationship begins to bloom.
After a few secret meetings and late-night rendezvous, Julie and Romeo are convinced it's love. But when their families find out, it's war....

The author read the book, which has it's advantages and disadvantages. She got the intonations the way SHE wanted them so you know that part is right, but there was a little slight stumbling over words here and there -- not much, but you don't get that when professional actors read.
I loved the story. It roughly follows the Shakespearean story of Romeo and Juliet. Two 60ish florists whose families have hated each other forever meet and fall in love. The families pitch a fit. But not even the problems caused by their families can keep these two star-crossed lovers apart.
Jeanne Ray is a great story teller, and she creates lively characters that you care about and that seem real (I can just picture oldest daughter Nora, for example, a formidable business woman who intimidates her mother much of the time). This is probably a women's book, and probably you have to be a certain age to really appreciate it. I look forward to reading the sequel to find out what happens to Romeo and Julie.
