Perfect for you if...

You loved 10 Things I Hate About You or Clueless and want to see how Shakespeare translates to your world.
You're studying Shakespeare in school and want to understand why these stories still hit different 400 years later.
You read YA anthologies for the variety and want to discover new authors without committing to a full novel.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer purist Shakespeare and think modern retellings cheapen the originals.
You want deep character development. Short stories in an anthology can't give you that same investment.
You're not familiar with Shakespeare's plots. These retellings assume you know what they're riffing on.
