...I wrote about Una LaMarche's Like No Other, which was a very different book than what I'd assumed:

Although Devorah and Jaxon take turns narrating, and although it’s been marketed primarily as a Romeo & Juliet story set in modern-day Crown Heights, Like No Other is very much Devorah’s story: It’s about her struggling to reconcile her upbringing with her desires, about finding a balance between pleasing her family and pleasing herself, about coming to terms with what she wants out of life. Her relationship with Jaxon is the catalyst for all of that, but ultimately, it’s not the center of the story, and despite a whole lot of angst, heartache and even some bloodshed, readers who go into this book expecting a straight-up romance may be disappointed.
