Saving Juliet by Suzanne Selfors

Mimi wants to be a doctor, not an actress. But Shakespearian theater is the family tradition, and her mother is forcing her to do it.

She receives a pendant, supposedly containing ashes from Shakespeare's quill, as a gift. Mimi finds herself transported to the Verona of Romeo and Juliet, stuck between the feuding Capulets and Montegues. But Mimi is determined to do what she can to make sure that the story of Romeo and Juliet has a happy ending.

Chick lit with a twist, incorporating a little bit of magic and time travel. Both the female main characters, today's New York City girl and yesterday's heroine of Verona, get their guys.
