This book re-tells the tale of Romeo and Juliet from a modern perspective. It's about an older couple who falls in love, and their feuding families.

It's a light read, but thoroughly engrossing and enjoyable. I enjoyed it so much that I read it twice!

Since then, I've sought out other books by Jeanne Ray. She has a wonderful writing style and the ability to tell a story that pulls you in. You'll love all the characters!

A very popular (NY Times bestseller) funny romance between two very youthful sixty-somethings whose families have carried on a feud for generations. Love and sexual attraction conquers family objections.

This was a very light and fun read. It didn't take me very long to finish and I really liked it. I am looking forward to the sequel Julie and Romeo Get Lucky.

Think Romeo and Juliet and the family feus. Bring it forward to Somervillle, Ma. and it is an updated version. I enjoyed the book. Very light and proves there is still love and passion after 60

Really, *really* loved this book! I picked it up in the LaGuardia airport to have something to read on the plane, and was extremely grateful for the incredibly noisy plane ride -- I kept laughing out loud. I'm certain the people next to me thought I was nuts...

A fun read - my mother even liked it and laughed at it. Her favorite scene - the one in the walk-in cooler (that's all I'm going to tell you about it).

Well-written women's fiction about an older couple falling in love, despite their family feud and their children's prejudices.

Very good book. It gives you hope that if you are patient you might find the one you truly love. At any age love might become part of your life.

I LOVED this book. It's a take off on the Montagues and Capulets from Shakespeare, but this Julie and Romeo are in their 60's and it's their kids who want to keep them apart. This was a really fun read.

Julie and Romeo by Jeanne Ray is the modern version of Romeo and Juliet. The adult Julie and Romeo in present times has an ex husband, flower shops, and grown children to deal with. The family has been fighting for so long the main people are not sure why they are fighting and the elderly matriarch doesn't want to tell. Will the star crossed lovers in modern times find a happy ending or are they doomed to repeat history?

It is an easy read with funny characters. After reading it, I was looking forward to more of Ray's books.
