Summary

Opposites become allies to fool their matchmaking friends in this swoony reimagining of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, Much Ado About Nothing.

Jamie Westenberg and Bea Wilmot have nothing in common except a meet-disaster and the mutual understanding that they couldn't be more wrong for each other. But when the people closest to them play Cupid and trick them into going on a date, Jamie and Bea realize they have something else in common after all—an undeniable need for revenge.

Soon their plan is in place: Fake date obnoxiously and convince the meddlers they’re madly in love. Then, break up spectacularly and dash everyone's hopes, putting an end to the matchmaking madness once and for all.

To convince everyone that they’ve fallen for each other, Jamie and Bea will have to nail the performance of their lives. But as their final act nears and playing lovers becomes easier than not, they begin to wonder: What if Cupid’s arrow wasn’t so off the mark? And what if two wrongs do make a right?

Review

This is only one of the second books that I’ve read by Chloe Liese and I’m finding that both of them have the same vibe. Don’t get me wrong, it's not a bad thing. For the types of books that she writes, it works. And I liked both books. Her books are soft, and it’s clear that she takes a lot of time crafting her characters to make sure that they seem real.

In Two Wrongs Make a Right, Bea and Jamie start off as enemies after a run in at a party. However, after deciding to work together to scheme their friends, their “fake” relationship starts to feel like a real one. It’s sweet and tender. And this book has so many great moments of these two being so loving towards each other. Again, she writes very soft books with angst and real issues weaved in.

There were two things that I encountered in this book that made me like it a little less. There was one plot line that went absolutely nowhere, and I wasn’t sure why the author had included that moment. The second thing was the third act breakup. Why? Why was that needed? The book would have been so much better without it.

Final Thoughts

Two Wrongs Make A Right does a great job at crafting a story that includes a diverse cast of characters and a sweet romance.
