Honestly, I wish I’d found it sooner.

I always thought Romeo and Juliet was just some boring love story, but this guide totally changed how I saw it. It explained stuff like the characters’ choices and how messed up their situation really was. Honestly, it made me think about how impulsive decisions can wreck everything—not just in the play but in real life too. The breakdowns of the language and themes were super clear, and I didn’t feel lost for once. If you’ve ever read Shakespeare and felt dumb (like I did), this guide is seriously worth it.
