Saving Juliet Suzanne Selfors Books

Just started reading this book in Kindle format and, only three pages into the story, I've already found so many instances of typographical errors and poor punctuation that I'm not sure I want to bother with finishing the book. The cover picture says "Saving Juliet," however, the two following title pages say "Saving Julite." The table of contents alone has some glaring examples of misspelled words. I would return it for credit, but I purchased it too long ago to do that now. My guess is that some form of character recognition software was used to scan the book into Kindle format, then no-one bothered to proofread it. Also, the Kindle formatting of this book places hyphens in odd places in words, depending on font size used. Examples of this are "befo-rehand" and "than-king." Might be a good story, but until they come out with an update to the Kindle version to fix these issues, I have to give the Kindle version a very poor rating.

Saving Juliet Suzanne Selfors Books Reviews

I love the author and I really liked this book, too, but the edition is a disaster. Ther are so many typos (apparently the text was scanned and the programme screwed up a lot of words. For example "I'm" becomes "Fm" and there are missing white spaces everywhere, up to five typos per () page! I rally wish publishers would check the ebook editions better.
This would make a wonderful movie
I really enjoyed this book. It gives a fresh point of view of Juliet. So, we can look at her with new eyes. I recommend this book for every body!. I will read it again!
The book sounds like a 17 year old girl trapped in another reality, which was great, because it was exactly what it was supposed to be. It was pretty funny, and it surprisingly had a good life lesson.
I loved this story! I read it in Junior High and now I am 21 and still can't get the story out of my head! I had to buy it again, great story for junior high level )
( I am 14 and writing this on my moms account)
I did an entire Romeo And Juliet study while homeschooling this year, and this was by far my favorite retelling of it. The story is about a girl named mimi who is forced into acting by her (sometimes overbearing) mother. But mimi doesn't like acting. She wants to show her mother that she can do her own thing. One day, while Mimi is performing in a production of Romeo And Juliet, She and her co-star, Troy, are transported into the real world of romeo and juliet. When Mimi befriends Juliet, she realizes that she can't let the two teenagers meet the same end they did in the play. This is a must read for teenage girls who are interested in reading/have read Romeo And Juliet.
While this is a literary vehicle I see frequently, Suzanne Selfors has not disappointed. Mimi Wallingford is a legacy in the theater world. She has been home-schooled because she is a stage actress and star of all the productions in the Wallingford theater, her family legacy. She is expected to go to the Theater Institute for drama in college and then one day take over the theater from her mother. The problem is, she doesn't want to be an actress. And the theater isn't doing well.
Enter stage right, leading man and Romeo, Troy Summer, a teen idol and heartthrob. He is drop-dead gorgeous, arrogant and is egocentric. He has a different girl on his arm every week. While Mimi can't help the attraction she feels for him, she gives him the cold shoulder and ignores him except when they are on stage together. She is Juliet to his Romeo.

Mimi's mother is domineering, feels she knows what is best for Mimi and makes decisions for Mimi whether or not Mimi consents. She is also quick to lay the guilt trip on. Mimi also finds out her mother is embezzling funds from her trust fund.
Mimi is feeling trapped. She was expecting to go to California to visit her aunt who is in the medical profession, but her mother cancels the trip because Mimi is needed to make a DVD of the stage production of Romeo and Juliet. She heads home to find a package from her aunt that contains a necklace with a charm reputed to hold the ashes of William Shakespeare's quill. When she shows up for the final performance, her mother demands she remove the necklace as it is not period. In an act of defiance, probably her only act of defiance, she refuses. An argument ensues and she wishes she were anywhere but here. The vial breaks, she steps out the back stage door in winter onto the sunny cobbles of Verona where she is recognized as a Capulet by the colors of her garment.

Mimi steps into Romeo and Juliet's Verona. She wanders aimlessly under the misconception that she is dreaming, but the physical reality teaches her otherwise. It is the night of the big Capulet party where Juliet meets Romeo. Mimi is espied by a Capulet guard and taken forcefully to Capulet house where guests have been streaming in all weak. After an interview with Lady Capulet, she is told she will share a room with Juliet as there are no more empty rooms. What she realizes is that she is, in fact, in the story of Romeo and Juliet, but it is not Will Shakespeare's version. Events are not fixed and by Mimi entering the story, she has altered it. As an example, the characters do not speak Elizabethan English. They speak more common English. Because Mimi accompanies Juliet to the party, Juliet does not meet Romeo that night and the whole story becomes skewed. Matters are complicated when she is thrown out of Capulet House and banished from the city, but even more problematic is that Troy followed her and was wounded by Tybalt. He is infirmed at Friar Lawrence's and when he awakens, starts threatening law suits and is unconvinced when Mimi tries to explain their situation.

What Mimi comes to realize is that she is writing the story. She is changing the story by every action she takes. She has promised to help Juliet and wants Juliet's story to have a happy ending, but realizes if she can't get the story back on track there will be no hope for her or Troy to get back home.
