A modern-day retelling of Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew.”
Honeyville
High’s mean girl, Ava Presley, is not looking to change. But when a
run-in with the school’s theater star, Finn Hayward, lands her in
trouble with the principal, Ava is forced to choose between getting
expelled or auditioning for the school musical. Reluctantly, she agrees,
and lands the lead right alongside Finn.
Ava has no plans of trying to fit into his superficial world, except the more she gets to know him, the more she realizes how wrong she’s been. Even Finn’s insane killer duck is not what he seems. But just when things finally start going her way, she discovers that the only way to save everything she’s come to love is by giving it all up.
My Review: 5 STARS
I picked this up because I’d read, and loved, the other books in the series and wanted to read the next one. I’ll admit that Ava started off as someone that I really didn’t like, but King has a way of pulling you in, making you want to stick around and see how and if things change. I didn’t like how bratty she was, but then as I kept reading, I started to see that those flaws had a reason behind them, and the more you got to know her, the more you were rooting for her and Finn. The engaging and relatable characters are a staple of King’s work, and I ended up cheering them on. I very much enjoyed this, and recommend to all who love a sweet romance!
