A review by aseel_reads
Vinegar Girl by Anne Tyler

tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I liked how this play was retold, with her dad being a scientist and the immigration stuff. Obviously the whole part of taming the shrew is super problematic and gross and although I see the attempt made to make it less so
having it about men not being able to share their emotions etc
it was still super weak
it was also unfortunate that they didn't keep the shoe thing from the play, I thought by havjng him do it for his landlady, it would be mirrored by kate at the end but instead we gey a kid epilogue which was kind of sweet but meh
I did enjoy the kids though, they were cute at her workplace
