Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers strongly appreciate the book's unique retelling of the Romeo and Juliet story set in 1920s Shanghai, with a blend of fantasy elements like monsters and gang rivalries. Many praise Chloe Gong's captivating writing style and well-developed, diverse characters.
