Romeo and Juliet

Oh, Romeo! What's in a name? (p.11)

What's in a name? Does it really matter if you are called Montague or Capulet?  When Romeo, son of Lord and Lady Montague, falls in love with the most beautiful girl he's ever seen, he finds out that it does matter. It makes all the difference in the world, because both families hate each other bitterly.

For a time, Romeo and Juliet manage to keep their love secret. But when Romeo is sent away from Verona, and arrangements are made for Juliet to marry Paris, a friend of her father's, hope begins to die. Can any of their friends help the young lovers to be together for ever?

I have not ever read this book. I was shocked by the end of this story.
