The Taming Of The Drew Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Cass McKay has been called stubborn, temperamental, difficult, and that word that rhymes with “witch” more times than she cares to count. But that’s all about to pay off. She has finally landed the role she was born to play—Kate, in The Taming of the Shrew—in the summer apprentice program of a renowned Shakespeare theater company in the forests of Vermont.But Cass can barely lace up her corset before her troubles begin. Her leading man, Drew, is a complete troll, and he’s going to ruin Cass’s summer. Even worse, Cass’s bunkmate Amy has somehow fallen head over heels for Drew. Cass can’t let Amy throw herself at a total jerk, so she comes up with a genius plan to give Drew the personality makeover he so desperately needs: they’ll tame Drew just as Petruchio tames Kate! But as Shakespeare’s classic plays out offstage, Cass finds it harder and harder to resist falling for Drew herself.The best kind of entertainment, The Taming of the Drew is smart, funny, fresh, and original. You’re going to love this badass heroine and her friends. You might even end up liking Drew, too.

The writing is quick, authentic, and funny. The way the author peppers actual Shakespearean verse into the calamities and conversations feels natural and unique; it's not just a nominal connection for a witty title. Strohm flips The Taming of the Shrew on its head believably. I wouldn't mind a sequel!
If you ever performed in any show, this book is seriously relatable (even if it was just that one time in first grade). It has those theater types you love to hate, as well as a charming leading lady in Cass. Cass faces some real life adolescent challenges without being all high on her horse like most YA heroines (or an over the top trainwreck in the case of edgier YA). This book made me laugh out loud while getting a pedicure, and i don't lol for much.
2.5 Stars.This was an average YA romance. If that's a genre you like you'll enjoy it. My biggest problem with it was that I found Cass pretty unlikable, and the relationship that developed seemed too unrealistic to me. It was an interesting reworking of The Taming of the Shrew though.Received from Edelweiss.
What an amazing, fun read! I loved it from beginning to end, even if I hated Drew at first. I wanted to strangle him!
