Breaking Hearts with Shakespeare

"The Casualty of Us" draws inspiration from Shakespeare's Hamlet, following the journey of Ophelia, a philosophy major beginning her freshman year of college just three months after surviving a kidnapping. What sets this narrative apart is its thoughtful structure—divided into two theatrical acts spanning 18 months of character development. 

The novel masterfully weaves multiple storylines: the mystery of Ophelia's unsolved kidnapping, her healing journey, the protective brother-sister relationship, and the developing romance. 

For fans of emotionally complex college romances with characters who feel startlingly real despite their larger-than-life qualities, "The Casualty of Us" delivers on every level. The first book in the Philosophies of Heart duet is available now on Kindle Unlimited, with book two coming soon. 

Don't miss this chance to experience R Phillips' remarkable talent for creating unforgettable characters and relationships that linger long after the final page.
