Romiette and Julio is a hood verison of the book "Romeo and Juliet," by william shakespeare. Romiette and Julio is two teens living in different worlds. Julio has just moved from Corpus Christi, Texas to Cincinnati, Ohio. and is depressed about leaving his home and friends. Romiette and Julio soon become friends, find out that they go to the same school, meet up, and eventually fall in love. However, a local gang disapproves of their interracial dating as Romiette is African-American and Julio is Hispanic.
I have read Romiette and Julio twice, i really love this book. I like it so much because people now can relate to the situations Romeiette and Julio is going through. People dont except there relationship because there different races but, they show that race doesnt matter love does.
