About this ebook
Some loves are not made to last . . . Like Romeo and Juliet, Heloise and Abelard were doomed from the start, and their romance was destined to pass into history. Yet when sixteen-year-old Callie Martin discovers a diary hidden within an antique book, their story - and hers - takes on another life. For the diary leads Callie to the brilliant and handsome August, who is just as mysterious as the secret the diary hides. Their attraction is undeniable. As the two hunt down the truth behind the diary - and that of Heloise and Abelard's ancient romance - their romance becomes all-consuming. But Callie knows it can't last . . . love never does. Will their love that burns as bright as a shooting star flame out, or will these star-crossed lovers be able to defy history?

This book was so perfect for me. I love romance books but adventures and fantasy books are great too. This book is a mix of everything. Callie and August's adventure and romance, the mystery of the book, the history of Heloise and Abelard and the fantasy in the ending. I finished this book in a day and I couldn't put it down. This book is the perfect teen read. It's for everyone except for maybe teenage boys. I totally recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about reading it because no matter what kind of book you like, this book will have a part for you. Though the story was sometimes unrealistic, it is a story I've always dreamed would happen to me which just makes the book even more real.

For me, the August and Callie relationship was too unbelievable, even for love at first sight. It brought the whole book down.
