Summary: Miranda has Shakespeare in her blood: she hopes one day to become a Shakespearean actor like her famous parents. At least, she does until her disastrous performance in her school's staging of The Taming of the Shrew. Humiliated, Miranda skips the opening-night party. All she wants to do is hide. Fellow cast member, Stephen Langford, has other plans for Miranda. When he steps out of the backstage shadows and asks if she'd like to meet Shakespeare, Miranda thinks he's a total nutcase. But before she can object, Stephen whisks her back to 16th century England—the world Stephen's really from. He wants Miranda to use her acting talents and modern-day charms on the young Will Shakespeare. Without her help, Stephen claims, the world will lost its greatest playwright.
Miranda isn't convinced she's the girl for the job. Why would Shakespeare care about her? And just who is this infuriating time traveler, Stephen Langford? Reluctantly, she agrees to help, knowing that it's her only chance of getting back to the present and her "real" life. What Miranda doesn't bargain for is finding true love . . . with no acting required
Review: *SPOILER ALERT*
I thought this book was EXCELLENT! The characters were sassy, and cute... Except for William Shakespeare because all I could picture was the of the man with a receding hair line and a little bit of a mustache.
I thought this was an addicting book, because Miranda/Olivia had to seduce Shakespeare. She lived in present day Boston, but Stephen was from Elizabethan times.
To be honest, a lot of the events in the book surprised me. I thought that Miranda was actually going to go through and sleep Will. Instead she fell for Stephen!!! I was always a bit suspicious of Jennet, but I never thought much of it until she became the reason why Thomas/Edmund was almost arrested.
The ending, however, did not really satisfy me. Yes, Miranda continued her acting. Her mother came around and was supportive and loving. But her and Stephen didn't do anything! They didn't have one last kiss before parting, or find a way to be together!! I was so mad about that!
All in all, it was an awesome book, and you should definitely read it :)
