Like Jules, I know what it’s like to be from an immigrant family but also have the “impractical” dream of wanting a career in the arts. Jules in JULIETA AND THE ROMEOS wants to be a writer (write what you know!). But her family has a restaurant that’s struggling and the need to make ends meet is very real in her life. I have faced some of those same challenges, and I wanted to explore them through this book.
