After Juliet begins where Romeo and Juliet ends—and it’s told from the P.O.V. of the teens who knew them best. Benvolio, Romeo’s best friend, is in love with Rosaline, Juliet’s cousin. But Rosaline is still carrying a torch for Romeo—and she’s bent on revenge. This sequel is based on an original idea by Keira Knightley and written by her mother, with thanks to William Shakespeare.
