The Battle of the Bookshops

Romeo and Juliet re-imagined as modern day rival booksellers is the plot of Poppy Alexander's The Battle of the Bookshops (#1,370).  In case you didn't pick up on this, the main characters are called Jules Caperthorne and Roman Montbeau.

Here the premise is that the hundred-year-old Caperthorne's Bookshop in a quaint seaside town must thwart the efforts of the sparkling new Montbeau bookstore directly across the street to run it out of business and take over its real estate lease.  

Jules is called home by her estranged mother to help out her elderly aunt after she's taken a serious fall in the bookshop where she's always lived and worked.  Her weekend at home costs Jules her job with a high-pressure publishing firm in London.  She realizes how much she's missed the bookstore where she spent much of her youth and is determined to put it back on firm financial footing before going back to London.  But when her handsome teenaged nemesis turns out to be the one running the rival bookstore with all the bells and whistles, she decides that under no circumstances will she let Roman win.  Let the battle begin!
