I see Romeo and Juliet everywhere!

There are only so many story lines. It becomes harder and harder for authors to think of completely original ideas. In many stories they have similar plots to Romeo and Juliet. One that I could think of is the Unwritten Rule by Elizabeth Scott. She creates a story about two best friends that are both wanting the same boy. You know your not suppose to love your best friends boyfriend, but you can't help who you fall for. They have a secret love affair behind the girlfriend/best friend's back and they know if they get caught, there will be bad consequences. It's just like Romeo and Juliet because they aren't suppose to be together but they go behind their parents back and if they get caught it will be off with their heads! In the end the friend finds out and hates both of them. It ruins the relationship between the girl and the boy that think they love each other. Its not tragic in the end like Rome and Juliet, but what can you say, its about modern day teenagers. There is not going to be some sappy, sad ending where they kill themselves. Books will always steal ideas from shakespear because his stories relate to any day and age.
