This sounds like an awesome book! I've read a summary that says that it ends unhappily! That still sounds like a good book though.

As Norris Houghton writes in his introduction: "What we see is that all four young people strive to consummate the happiness at the threshold on which they stand and which they have tasted so briefly. All four are deprived of the opportunity to do so, the Renaissance couple by the caprice of fate, today's youngsters by the prejudice and hatred engendered around them....
"Poets and playwrights will continue to write of youthful lovers whom fate drives into and out of each other's lives. The spectacle will always trouble and move us, even as the two dramas in this volume do today."

West Side Story is a really good movie!
I GOING to love it. This is a classic romance. I usually like teenage romance but this will be a good read, I just KNOW it.
