“As if anyone could not want you.” —Christopher Petruchio, page 130
the highest this book could’ve gone for me would’ve been about 2.5 stars mostly because i generally don’t even like THE TAMING OF THE SHREW. i’ve read the first book in this series, and that one was more enjoyable than this by a lot. regardless of the cringey feeling i got about the humor, the thing that really got me was the age gap. they’re only six years apart and they’re in the late 20s/early 30s, but they both keep mentioning the fact that he kind of babysat her, held her as a baby, was annoyed about her as a child and tween but when he left for college and came back and she was eighteen, suddenly he was attracted to her? it had me scowling. anyway. whatever.
