Falling For Hamlet by Michelle Ray

First comes love, then comes madness.

WOW wow wow wow. That was my thoughts as I put the book down for the final time. This book is not a mere romance but it's a brilliant tragedy, filled with sexy twists and scandalous secrets. Michelle Ray was inspired by the play, Hamlet, set in a modern day society. She made her book different by focusing on Ophelia's point of view through her fast paced, on and off romance with the prince, Hamlet. Needless to say that Hamlet's father dies pretty much in the beginning and after that everything at the castle of the royals of Denmark, becomes tragic, and just plain weird. The book is magnificently written and is also written in an interesting format. From present to past to even further back and on and on. The characters are so well developed that you immediately like or dislike the character, and even sometimes have something in common with them. 

Is being in the eye of the public, always a good thing? 

There's a statement, a phrase that is prominent in this book,"Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth." and, "truth fears no trial".

JUST WOW. WOW. WOW.

MY NEW FAVORITE. Please read it.

Rating, 10/10


Don't judge the book by the boring cover.
