Last year. I read both Twisted Lit #1 and #2 and enjoyed them very much! Tempestuous - Twisted Lit #1 is inspired by Shakespeare's Tempest and Exposure - Twisted Lit #2 is a modern-day Spin on Shakespeare's Macbeth.

Title: Anyone But You: A Modern-Day Spin on Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet (Twisted Lit #3)
Authors: Kim Askew & Amy Helmes
Authors: Kim Askew & Amy Helmes
Expected publication: Jan 18 2014-Merit Press

Two Italian restaurants, both alike in dignity, in Chicago’s Little Italy where we lay our scene... After her family’s struggling eatery, Cap’s, falls prey to another of the Monte clan’s vicious and destructive pranks, sixteen-year-old Gigi Caputo finds herself courting danger during a clandestine encounter with Roman Monte, the very boy whose relatives have brought her family such grief. When the daughter and son of these two warring factions fall for each other, their quest to mend this bitter family feud turns out to be a recipe for disaster. Their story is irrevocably linked to the summer of 1933, when two twelve-year-olds, Benny and Nick, hop the turnstile at the Chicago World’s Fair. While enjoying some of the fair’s legendary amusements, Nick has a “love at first sight” encounter with Stella, a young girl who unintentionally causes a lasting rift between the two boyhood pals. Deftly winding its way through past and present day, this modern take on Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet has much to do with hate — but more with love.

I love Jane Eyre re-tellings. My favorite is Jane by April Lindner. I hope this re-telling doesn't have quite the tragic ending that Romeo & Juliet does. I hate that ending! Thanks for sharing! :)
