Waking Romeo

Kathryn Barker’s Waking Romeo is a spectacularly genre-bending retelling of Romeo & Juliet  asking the big questions about true love, fate, and time travel

Year: 2083. Location: London.
Mission: Wake Romeo.

It’s the end of the world. Literally. Time travel
is possible, but only forward. And only a handful of families choose to remain
in the “now,” living off of the scraps left behind.

Among them are eighteen-year-old Juliet and the
love of her life, Romeo. But things are far from rosy for Jules. Romeo lies in
a coma and Jules is estranged from her friends and family, dealing with the
very real fallout of their wild romance.

Then a mysterious time traveler, Ellis, impossibly
arrives from the future with a mission that makes Juliet question everything
she knows about life and love.

Can Jules wake Romeo—and rewrite her future?
