This book was HILARIOUS! I was initially VERY nervous about the idea of something so brilliant being translated into Shakespearean language but It was genius. I am not a dedicated Shakespeare fan, if I'm honest I haven't picked up a single sonnet or play since I was in college, but something about this just screamed READ ME!
This is most definitely a book I never knew I needed! Doescher takes a modern tale and spins it into a marvelous drama with language that is dramatic, lyrical and foreign while also being satirical, hilarious and savage. After reading this novel, I instantly know how to get my kids immersed in Shakespeare's world - this is a modern tool for a classical era! A novel that no classroom (or bookshelf!) should be without! 5/5 stars!

such a fun read, and an ingenious concept! as a member of the “can’t understand Shakespeare well” club, being so familiar with the movie made reading this a breeze.
