'Ridiculously fun . . . It is as hilarious and funny and strange as you would imagine . . . fantastic' BookRiot

Packed with exciting choices, fun puzzles, secret surprises, terrible puns, and more than a billion possible storylines, Romeo and/or Juliet offers a new experience every time you read it.

Whatever your adventure, you're guaranteed to find lots of romance, epic fight scenes, and plenty of questionable decision-making by highly emotional teens.

'Shakespeare with even more sex, cryptography, time travel and alternate endings than the original! Ryan North is the only writer I know who's smart enough and funny enough to pull this off' Lev Grossman, New York Times bestselling author of the Magicians trilogy

About the Author

Ryan North is a New York Times bestselling author and cartoonist. His previous Shakespeare book, To Be or Not To Be, became Kickstarter's most-funded publishing project when it launched. North writes the popular webcomic Dinosaur Comics and the critically acclaimed Unbeatable Squirrel Girl for Marvel Comics, and he wrote the first thirty-five issues of Adventure Time, for which he won an Eisner Award. That's like the Oscars of comics! There's a gala and everything. He lives in Toronto with his wife, Jenn, and their dog, Noam Chompsky.
