One of my favourite Shakespeare stories, you don't have to have read the original to appreciate Tyler's version. I always find it interesting to see how an author moves the story into a modern setting and I think Tyler has done a great job. It's not necessarily easy to make a story of a father selfishly marrying off one of his daughters to keep his research assistant in the country. There were a couple of times this kind of lost me, but overall I enjoyed reading Vinegar Girl. 
 I would also 110% recommend watching the Shakespeare Retold version of this with Shirley Henderson and Rufus Sewell. Perfection! 
 Looking forward to reading the rest of the Hogarth adaptations.
