And I wanted to tell you about my experiences of reading your story. I came to the conclusion that love is important in life, but not to die for love.

It's really romantic what  you did to Julia and how you fought to get your love. I learned that you are a  person of courage and  you are not afraid to do everything in order to achieve your goals.

After a week they run away and got married.

A latter to the main character

Dear Romeo

While reading the book I saw that you will do everything for love.

From where you have the power to resist to all the people who thought differently about your relationship with Juliet ?

I really appreciate that you fought so hard to get Juliet , but in my opinion when you saw Juliet " died ", killing your self was not the answer. Yes it was romantic , but it was too radicalized because even though u thought she was died u could mourn on her, because at the end of a day you could find someone else that will take Juliet's place.

love, Blen.
