I'm an adult who loves to read YA novels like Shiver, Need, the House of Night series, the Twilight series, and MANY other really good books that, while they are classified as YA, they're pretty universal and simply about teenagers.
Falling for Romeo is more along the lines of a romance novel for pre-teens. John is too perfect, and his biggest problem is with his father (and it's on his father's side, not John's.) Jenn is not written as perfect as John, since she has her catty "teen" moments like spreading gossip and expecting John to be able to read her mind, but still, she's the perfect embodiment of what a pre-teen would think it's like to be a teenager.
There's nothing wrong with this novel EXCEPT that it's YA for the younger crowd. It was a cute story and I did finish reading the book (initially I put it down, being so surprised at the juvenile writing and the many editing mistakes.) I recommend this book for kids 8-15 years old. There's kissing, a lot of it, and some random changing clothes "OMG, he saw me in my underwear" moments, but no sex or drugs or underage drinking.
If you're an adult who likes YA, you can safely skip this one :)

My Thoughts:I had been wanting to read this one for a while now, but I was putting it off because it looks amazing and I was afraid it wouldn't live up to my expectations. I'm glad I finally started reading it! I loved it! It was so much fun! We meet Jennifer and John who have been neighbors all their lives. At one point they were even best friends.

I'm glad I finally started reading it! I loved it! It was so much fun! We meet Jennifer and John who have been neighbors all their lives. At one point they were even best friends. High school happened and they just fell into different cliques and drifted apart. All the girls had the hots for John and Jennifer didn't seem too unpopular herself. They both get cast as Romeo and Juliet in a school play and they are required to spend more time together practicing. I really enjoyed this one a lot. When he kissed her the first time (for the play) it was so fun but when he really gave her the first kiss (when they weren't doing it for the play) it was even better and more romantic! I loved this story! Of course she's so stubborn at the beginning she tells people he's a bad kisser. But deep down, she loved that kiss! I loved this book! It was sweet and beautiful and I want my own John now!
Overall: Loved it! Read it now! Even if its your first Jennifer Laurens book, read it! Its a cute fun book to read when your in the mood for some romance.
Cover: Loved it! The first time I saw this book, I knew it would be good! The back cover of the book is really pretty too!!!!
