Romeo And/Or Juliet

Ryan North

2016

Notes

You can't say Choose Your Own Adventure because that's copyrighted by the Choose Your Own Adventure people, but here's the same mechanic but retelling Romeo and Juliet. There IS a single pathway through that gets you to a similar story arc, but North's retelling has wild options, and wild characters, and you're just as likely to 'play' as Juliet and become a pirate or 'play' as Romeo and die horribly. Ryan North is always funny (he's the Dinosaur Comics guy!), and his usual charm and casual verbosity is on display here.
