The Taming of the Shrew
Cymbeline
Another Shakespeare tale of disguise, exile and reunion, but darker in tone with attempted murder and jealousy rather than pastoral comedy.
Lola and the boy next door
Same tangle of mismatched lovers, costumes and disguises sorting themselves out happily, but told in modern teen voice with a slower, quieter burn.
The Selection Stories
Keeps the courtly romance and forbidden longing with a happy resolution, but swaps pastoral wit for a modern palace competition and a love triangle.
The Siren
Keeps the chaste, longing-driven forbidden love and happy ending, but trades witty banter for melancholy modern fantasy about a cursed voice.
Ugly Love
Shares the forbidden pull and eventual happy ending, though far darker and explicitly steamy instead of playful and chaste.
