The unsatisfying thing about practicing restraint was that nobody knew you were practicing it.

I’m beginning to think that maybe it’s not just how much you love someone. Maybe what matters is who you are when you’re with them.

I was confused upon finishing the novel, to say the least. Where was the angry, independent, driven, feminist main character I had so loved in “10 Things I Hate About You?” Why would Tyler, a modern writer, go through the effort of reimagining Shakespeare’s version of the story and not even bother to alter the more traditional messaging with a take that directly addresses the societal expectations of women? The original work objectifies and subjugates its female lead, so the logical next step would be for a modern retelling to directly combat this instead of addressing the standards of toxic masculinity, as “Vinegar Girl” does. I had heard of the speech Kate’s character delivers at the end of the play, detailing how wives should strive to obey their husbands and a woman’s proper place in a marriage — why would Tyler blatantly avoid any discussion of this theme? I was annoyed, but I was also curious. Shouldn’t we be updating the classic stories that don’t align with our modern cultural values by directly challenging the original offensive material?

She had felt that way during her own childhood; she’d felt like a watchful, wary adult housed in a little girl’s body. And yet nowadays, paradoxically, it often seemed to her that from behind her adult face a child about eleven years old was still gazing out at the world.
