    About this ebook

    In this fast-paced romance that combines flirty fun and situational comedy, a spunky heroine must navigate secret crushes, high school hijinks, and of course, Shakespeare.

    Understudies never get to perform...which is why being Juliet's understudy in the school's yearly Shakespeare production is the perfect role for Emily. She can earn some much-needed extra credit while pursuing her main goal of spending time with Wes, aka Romeo, aka the hottest, nicest guy in school (in her completely unbiased opinion). And she meant to learn her lines, really, it's just:

    a) Shakespeare is HARD,
    b) Amanda (the "real" Juliet) makes her run errands instead of lines, and
    c) there's no point, since Amanda would never miss her chance to be the star of the show.

    Then Amanda ends up in the hospital and Emily, as the (completely unprepared!) understudy, has to star in the most famous scene from Romeo and Juliet opposite the guy of her dreams. Oops?

    Shani Petroff’s Romeo and What’s Her Name is a laugh-out-loud funny novel chosen by readers like you for Macmillan's young adult imprint Swoon Reads.

    Praise for Romeo and What's Her Name:

    "This has all the hallmarks of a high-school romance: a swoon-worthy male lead, a requisite mean girl, and plenty of backstage dallying and wacky miscommunication. Flirty and fun." —Booklist

    "Petroff’s latest offering, published by Macmillan’s crowdsourced imprint, will delight romance lovers with its fast pace and humorous tone." —School Library Journal

    "[Emily is] the American Bridget Jones...this book is simply amazing!" —Jenn, reader on SwoonReads.com

      Everything about this screams teen chick lit! From the slightly klutzy and comedic Emily to the handsome Wes, we are treated to high school life via the role of a regular girl. She begs to become an understudy in the school's annual Shakespeare event, but the 'star', Amanda, keeps her so busy, she is unprepared when it's her turn to shine. This was a cute, fast read that would be appropriate for younger teens, but still interesting for older.
    • 4/5
      This was a very cute read, I couldn't help feeling incredibly embarrassed for her at her mishaps, yet I also couldn't stop laughing. I loved how her friends were so supportive and always there for her, Wesley was a fantastic character as well.
    • 5/5
      I laughed so much while reading this story! This was such a cute book.
