Leaving Paradise Summary/Movie Connection

In the novel, Leaving Paradise by Simone Elkeles, the two main characters in the novel Caleb and Maggie end up becoming closer now than they were before the accident even occured. This shows that they have bonded throughout the book, and their relationship with eachother has grown closer. This novel reminds me of Romeo and Juliet, because Maggie and Caleb are forbidden to see eachother or Caleb will suffer the consequences, and as for Romeo in the Tragedy, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo is told to banish the town of Verona and go to another town. These two stories are really great love stories, yet end in a very tragic way.
