Really 4.5

I love Taming of the Shrew and Ten Things I Hate About You. So naturally I was excited for this retelling. What I loved about it is how Kareena and Prem were essentially co-conspirators instead of him being hired to 'tame' her. That was an appreciated change and nod to the modern telling of it. It was also sexier than I anticipated which isn't bad but it was a surprise.

I didn't mind Prem having a name for his man part like others did. It was all internal and he never told Kareena to call it that so it seemed a eccentricity. Personally I'm more offended with romances where the "alpha male" pushes the other person down to their knees with demands to suck them off....but to each their own.

My main issue was the relationship with Bindu. I feel Kareena should have torn her a new one a long time ago. The 'kind' sisterly moments were so few and far between that I didn't believe she cared for Kareena at all. A convo between Prem and Kareena helped me to understand how she was so graceful with her Dad and Grandma. But Bindu was a sibling and someone should have told her off long before it happened.

Overall very entertaining and would recommend and re-read.
