===//Twelfth Night//, by William Shakespeare ===

In this tale, Shakespeare shares with us an absurd tale of confusion and love. He explores topics such as homosexuality, transgender confusion, heart break, and romance. The shipwrecked protagonist in the story, Viola, dresses as a man while she adjusts to her new town. By doing this she traps herself in a crazy love triangle between herself, the duke, and Olivia. Things only get more confusing when her twin brother comes to town and everyone thinks he is the disguised Viola. If you’ve ever seen the movie “She’s the Man,” staring Amanda Bynes, you have seen a modern day telling of “Twelfth Night.” I recommend this book to Shakespeare lovers, however the confusing plot line might make it a challenging book to beginners. ~Jessica Miller
