“What’s in a name, Shakespeare? I’ll tell you everything. What If The Greatest Love Story Ever Told Was The Wrong One?” -Rosaline-
This book is written by Rebecca Serle
and it is about a teenager at the age around 17 named Rosaline. Rosaline and
Rob had been friends since they were young and Rosaline had a crush on Rob. At
the same time, Juliet likes Rob too but she had another secret which is to take
revenge towards Rosaline’s family because of the misunderstanding between Rose’s
dad and Juliet’s dad. Rosaline and Juliet are cousins and the three of them
knew each other very well. Except when Juliet and her family had moved to
another city at 6 years old, and now she came back to seek her revenge and to
make Rob hers.
There are three moral values that I have
learned from this book. One of it is Your
First Love Is Not Your True Love. Like Rosaline, she liked Rob with all
her heart since young and Rob was her first love. After a while, Rob finally started
to like Rosaline too but when Juliet came, Rob was so blinded by Juliet’s flawless
beauty that Rob started to be Juliet’s boyfriend. Rosaline was hurt and she
tried to make Rob realise that Juliet was tricking him in order to seek for
revenge towards Rose’s family but it was too late when Rob finally realised it.
Rose had moved on and she doesn’t want to hurt her feeling for the second time.
When Rob and Juliet died in a car accident, she was sad for a while because Rob
was her best friend but she accepted it with all her heart after that.
Next, the second moral value is Family Should Stick Together.
Juliet’s dad had misunderstood Rose’s dad true intentions. It was about Juliet’s
dad who cheated on his wife with going out with Rob’s mother. Rob’s dad was
Rose’s dad best friend. After their secret had been revealed, Juliet’s father
wanted Rose’s father to be on his side and supported him but Rose’s dad knew
that his brother was the one who started to flirt with Rob’s mother at the
first place and that’s why Rose’s father decided to be on Rob’s father side. Juliet’s
father was hurt by his brother’s actions and soon after that, he brought his
family including Juliet out of the town. They moved to New York. When Juliet
turned 17, they moved back to seek for their revenge.
Lastly, we shouldn’t Love A Guy Desperately That You Even Tried
To Kill Yourself. Like Juliet, she liked Rob insanely that she even threatened
Rob to kill herself with taking pills. She was obsessed with Rob and she couldn’t
even stand Rob’s friendship with Rosaline. She wanted to seek for her revenge
at first but gradually after that, she started to develop real feelings towards
Rob. After Rob knew about her family revenge, Rob decided to break up with her
and go to Rosaline. Rob finally realised that Rose is his true love an all but
it was too late. Rose wanted some time to think about it but by the next
morning, Rob and Juliet were found dead in car accident where their car got
lost control and it went down the cliff. Both of them were drunk and Juliet had
a small arguement with Rob in the car that she was so upset she tried to beat
Rob in the car and Rob couldn’t control the car and the brakes. Finally they
died together.
