A review by cemoses
Vinegar Girl by Anne Tyler

4.0

A big problem with this book is that it is supposed to be a modern Taming of the Shrew. I did not see Kate as being a shrew; rather she is socially awkward and heading towards being a stereotypical old maid. I also did not believe that someone as sarcastic as Kate would be kept as a teaching assistant (in some office environments I think someone who is a little bitchy might thrive).

However, things improve during the second half of the book when she plans on getting married. It becomes a light fun book.
