Book Review: Vinegar Girl by Anne Tyler

My Rating:
3 out of 5 Stars!

My Review:
This book is a modern day retelling of  The Taming Of The Shrew by William Shakespeare! It is a part of the Hogarth Shakespeare Project! This was my first time reading Anne Tyler's work. I really enjoyed this retelling it was a witty, fresh take on a classic! The story ended leaving me wanting a little more which thankfully was delivered in the epilogue! Would I recommend it? Yes! It is a fun, light read, great story and characters!
