I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased opinion. 
 Kate Battista is 29-years-old, still single, living at home with her dad and younger sister, and working as a teacher's assistant at a preschool. Kate's dad is a research scientist, studying autoimmune diseases. His assistant, Pyotr, is in the US on a visa, but it is about to expire, so Kate's dad gets the idea that Kate could marry Pyotr so he can stay in the US. Kate, of course, has other ideas. 
 This is a modern retelling of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, and I must say the original is better. Then again, how many authors or books could stand up to Shakespeare? This is a difficult storyline to fit in modern day America; not many American women in this day and age are forced into marriage by their father, so at times, it felt absurd. However, it had its funny moments. This is not a bad story at all, but I love Taming of the Shrew and was hoping for more.
