Product Description
Review
Juliet is in a comfortable relationship with Will but can't help wishing that there was more romance in her life and is sorely tempted when she meets a sexy Adonis from a rival advertising agency. A delightful feel-good romantic comedy that gives the story of Romeo and Juliet a contemporary twist.
Company, September 2002
'Essential reading for anyone who thinks the grass is greener on the other side.'

'Calling Romeo' is a compelling, feel good romance. I bought it on a whim, not expecting a lot, read it in Greece and have been recommending it continuously since.
The lovable characters and realistic scenario mixed with a touch of fairy tale, result in a novel full of emotion and laughs. Alexandra Potter is a wonderful writer with the ability to capture her reader into the whirl-wind of Will and Jules.
I loved this book, and was disappointed to reach the end, although the story does conclude how it should and as a reader you are left feeling content. A must read for all romantics.

Being the fact that I'm a 22yr old straight male, I didn't at first thought, imagine I'd be as interested in this sort of book when I first came across it in a villa in Majorca this summer. I gave it a shot however, and after barely having put it down for more than an hour in 2 days, I was finished.
This is a fun, interesting, compelling book that will always provide the reader with some aspect to which they can empathize. The two characters, Will and Juliette, really draw you in and make you desperate to continue reading to find out how their situation changes throughout the book.
Another great bit of writing by Alexandra Potter, definitely worth reading.

This book is another 'take' on Romeo and Juliet, perhaps because the main character's name is Juliet! It's a sad, ultimately feel-good book about one woman finding out whether looks are everything, and what love is really about. It's a good read, if you like the feel-good 'chick-flick' of the literary world.

Not Great
I am usually a fan of ALs work and engaging characters. However in this one I found it difficult to feel any sympathy for our heroine as she falls for the flashy. Read more

Old book REHASHED
I keep falling for this as must others - this was actually written in 2002! Why can't publishers be honest and upfront about releasing old books as new ones! Read more

Mixed feelings about this -
I'm not certain why I somehow still read books about someone infidelity when I know that all it ends up doing is making me feel terribly agonised. Read more
