Goodreads beskrivning

High school senior Cameron Bright’s reputation can be summed up in one word: bitch. It’s no surprise she’s queen bee at her private L.A. high school—she’s beautiful, talented, and notorious for her cutting and brutal honesty. So when she puts her foot in her mouth in front of her crush, Andrew, she fears she may have lost him for good.

In an attempt to win him over, Cameron resolves to “tame” herself, much like Katherine in Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. First, she’ll have to make amends with those she’s wronged, which leads her to Brendan, the guy she labelled with an unfortunate nickname back in the sixth grade. At first, Brendan isn’t all that receptive to Cameron’s ploy. But slowly, he warms up to her when they connect over the computer game he’s developing. Now if only Andrew would notice…

But the closer Cameron gets to Brendan, the more she sees he appreciates her personality—honesty and all—and wonders if she’s compromising who she is for the guy she doesn’t even want.

 

Mina åsikter

Huvudkaraktären i den här boken var verkligen en bitch i början. En karaktär som var väldigt svår att gilla till en början. Men vi får ta del utav en stor karaktärsutveckling, vilket alltid är något jag gillar, så det är ett stort plus i kanten. Fina vänskapsrelationer växer också fram. Boken var lagom nördig med sina referenser till Shakespears taming of the shrew.
