If maybe at times a bit slow, there’s still no
denying that there are a lot of fun parts in this book, made up of awesome pranks and
laugh-out-loud lines. Like any other Shakespeare retelling, it includes our fair share of nerdiness we all love.
I have to admit that I thought Cass, the main character, was a bit annoying with how she misjudged almost everything that happen. I just couldn’t believe she could be so clueless about it. But fortunately her behavior was canceled out by her cool, fun personality.

Also the cast of characters were a nice
addition. I liked that none of them were
the classic theater nerd we see every time.
And let’s not even get into Drew, who knew beards
were hot? I mean I guess lots of people find them hot but I was never one of
them, especially in seventeen-year-olds. But anyway, Drew was that misjudged
guy that everyone thinks is annoying but is just misunderstood, shy and kind of
nerdy too. He also had a lot of allergies and I liked that we have something in
common. Lol.
The whole taming of the Drew aspect was fun but
semi cruel. I liked it. Overall this one adds for a really cute, summer romance
perfect for younger readers that like contemporary.
And if you look closely at the cover you’ll get
a hint of a cool turn hobby our main characters enjoy.
