Chronicle Conducive To Books Caleb + Kate
"Romeo + Juliet gets an update in this story of forbidden love. Shakespeare's never been so hip." -- Jenny B. Jones, author of The Charmed Life SeriesAs the popular darling of the junior class and heiress to the five-star Monrovi Inn empire, Kate has both everything and nothing. She's bored with school and life...until she locks eyes with Caleb at a school dance.
Caleb is new to Kate's exclusive prep school, and it's clear he doesn't fit in. In fact, he and his dad work in maintenance for Kate's father. And while Caleb knows better than to spend time with the boss's daughter, it seems that every time he tries to back away, something pulls him right back in.
When their parents demand that they are to stay away from each other, they learn of a fight between their families that occurred more than fifty years ago. It's a mystery Kate doesn't understand...but a legacy Caleb has endured his entire life.
With the world stacked against them, Caleb and Kate will have to walk by faith to find the path that God has planned for them.

Review posted at Amaterasu Reads It's a Romeo and Juliet re-telling with a different twist. One that goes deeper and more complicated. It's about family, faith, love and the sacrifices we need to do in order for us to be happy.Kate thought she had it all. She's rich, she attends a prestigious school and have two of the best friends anyone can have. She thought she wouldn't ever be in love. Not in the foreseeable future anyway. But that was until she meets Caleb, the son of the maintenance guy,A much happier ending than the one in Romeo + Juliet ;)Is it bad that I fell in love with Oliver a little bit more than I fell in love with Caleb?
If there was a ten star rating system for Young Adult romances I'd give this book twelve stars. It's the best YA romance I've ever read. Seriously. My heart was actually pounding for the last half of the book. Yes, it really was. I adored Caleb. He was a great guy, and I loved that he was not what everyone assumed when they first met him. The same with Kate. She wasn't a rich snob like he'd expected. I was thrilled that he couldn't hate her even though he had tried. They were so different.
I was browsing through the YA section of the library when I found Caleb + Kate. I love discovering a great new book and this one doesnt disappoint. Its a modern (loose) retelling of Romeo and Juliet, and very sweet. I liked that the author incorporated texting and social media into the book, because it very realistically depicted teens these days and I dont think enough YA authors incorporate it to the extent that they should. Kate and Calebs relationship does develop very quickly, as many
I really enjoyed this book, of course it isn't perfectly tuned to my tastes but it was really fun to read.What I Loved: -The focus wasn't just on the romance happening you also got a clear image of the surroundings and the underlying plot (the fight over the inn) -The main characters were really fleshed out. You could understand and empathize with them. What I wanted: -For being a forbidden love story there wasn't much trouble. -Caleb was obviously written as a hunk, girls were wanting to get
Shakespeare never been so hip? What about Romeo and Juliet never been so boring? Because honestly, this book is a boring one. I expected Romeo and Juliet's retelling in a modern style, but then it's just an old family feud that involved a bitter old man. And the chemistry between Caleb and Kate isn't working for me. Beside all the talk about love bla bla bla, I just couldn't feel it. And they're 17 after all. Duh! Maybe yes, there's a love once in a lifetime but honestly, when I was 17 years old
