This was a decent retelling of The Taming of the Shrew and I liked Tyler's depiction of the family and the modernization of Kate's story, but I felt the book spent too long on the introduction of the characters and rushed the ending. I know Tyler was probably following the play, but it felt flat.
fast-paced
“In my country they have proverb: ‘Beware against the sweet person, for sugar has no nutrition.”
"This was intriguing. Kate said, “Well, in my country they say that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.”
“Yes, they would,” Pyotr said mysteriously. He had been walking a couple of steps ahead of Kate, but now he dropped back and, without any warning, slung an arm around her shoulders and pulled her close to his side. “But why you would want to catch flies, hah? Answer me that, vinegar girl.”
A modern retelling of Shakespeare's TAMING OF THE SHREW that works as lovingly as "10 Things I Hate About You." Lab mice, soon-to-expire work VISA and dreamcatchers!

I think if I had actually read the book, rather than listened to it, I would have enjoyed it more. But it was a really quick listen
