Juliet by Anne Fortier

I've been reading a ton of books lately and fallen behind! Here's a book club book I read over the summer- Juliet by Anne Fortier. The story focuses on a young woman named Julie who is floundering through life until the death of her Aunt (and mother figure) sends her to recover a mysterious inheritance in Italy. She learns that she may be related to Juliet (as in... Romeo and Juliet) and discovers more about herself and her history along the way. There's action, history, love, speculation, mystery, and even some intrigue. It was a good read although a little slow in parts. The author obviously loved Italy and did a great job sharing details that made me feel like I was there.
