“Oh god this was so pretentious and flat. Maybe it's because I'm a certified Shakespeare hater but this was a drag to get through. The plot was boring and predictable. I hated the casual misogyny and honestly the homophobia in this book. Oliver was so clearly in love with James, yet he never wanted to name his bisexuality for what it was. Also, Alexander is the stereotypical partying gay predator who likes to turn straight guys gay. The mystery aspect was so contrived and information is given so easily to Oliver as he needed it. All of the women were one dimension and flat. It was such a waste …”
“One of the worst books I've ever read. If you're considering reading this, don't waste your time.

As someone who knows next to nothing about Shakespeare and all his plays I'm not going to lie, all the lines and quotes were a bit confusing but please! do! not! let that stop you from reading t…”
