Chloe Liese is one of my top romance authors and this book could not be more relatable, as I struggle with anxiety daily. I appreciate the representation that Chloe writes about not just in this book, but in all of her books. Her diverse and inclusive approach is partially why I keep coming back to her books - she makes a lot of us feel seen.

Her character development is incredibly well done and I especially loved Jamie - he is witty, goofy and his love for Bea jumped off the page. I adored this love story!

I definitely think this is more of a "not for me" and not a true reflection of the book. I think the writing was good and I loved all the representation.. I just really didn't vibe with it. I found the characters to be slightly unlikable and didn't feel their connection. I just felt like everything in this book was only okay. There was nothing wrong with it but just not memorable. I have heard great things about this authors other book series so will definitely give those a try instead.

Two Wrongs Make a Right by Chloe Liese was such a fun read! The premise was quirky and refreshing, and I loved the dynamic between the characters.

I really enjoyed this one. It was hard to put down. It kept me wanting more. The characters are amazing! And I love the title and the story line. Such an amazing book!

Two Wrongs Make a Right by Chloe Liese is a delightful enemies-to-lovers romance brimming with humor, heart, and sizzling chemistry. Inspired by Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, the story reimagines the classic banter and sparks with a contemporary twist.

Jamie Westenberg, a buttoned-up pediatrician, and Bea Wilmot, an artsy free spirit with a sharp wit, couldn’t be more opposite. Their initial meet-disaster sets the stage for a chaotic and hilarious dynamic. When meddling friends push them together, their revenge plot to fake-date and break hearts is both outrageously funny and surprisingly tender.

Liese’s signature blend of diverse representation and emotionally complex characters shines. Bea’s neurodivergence and Jamie’s quiet struggles with anxiety are handled with sensitivity, adding depth to their characters and making their journey toward understanding and love feel authentic. The fake-dating trope is executed masterfully, with just the right balance of laugh-out-loud moments and swoon-worthy romance.

The only reason this book doesn’t get a full five stars is that the pacing occasionally drags in the middle, with a few repetitive scenes that could have been trimmed. However, the witty banter, heartfelt character growth, and electric chemistry more than make up for it.

Two Wrongs Make a Right is a charming and uplifting romance that proves opposites really do attract—and sometimes meddling friends are right on target. Perfect for fans of fake dating, quirky characters, and feel-good love stories.

I love a good Shakespeare retelling, and this one did not disappoint! TWO WRONGS MAKE A RIGHT by Chloe Liese was such a fun opposites attract story -- we need more romances with this trope, and I can't wait to read more from this author!

Love, love, loved!!
Everything you need to know: fake dating, autism rep, super adorable love
Plus, this one gave me Bergman Brother’s vibes but with all sisters.
Loved!

Two Wrongs Make a Right by Chloe Liese is a delightful and lighthearted romance that will captivate readers who adore fake dating, witty banter, and stories that explore themes of neurodivergence, anxiety, and the possibility of finding love in unexpected places.

Bea, an artist, and Jamie, a doctor have an awful meet cute at her sister and his best friend's party. Unbeknowest to them, their friends and family were trying to set them up. What a backfire. After Bea and Jamie learn this fact, they decide to get the ultimate revenge and fake date. What they don't expect is for things to actually start clicking between them as they do.

Overall, I did enjoy the two main characters and the author's take on the classic characters. They did seem to play offer each other well in that Beatrice and Benedict way. I enjoyed the setting and some of the side characters as well.

Unfortunately, I wasn't a huge fan of Bea's sister or the best friend, which is unfortunate because they took up a lot of the page. It kind of threw things off.

Thanks for the ARC!

I really enjoyed this book and its characters and premise! I loved both Bea and Jamie as characters.. It was also great to see a realistic portrayal of anxiety in this book. I really enjoyed this retelling of much ado about nothing. I was also glad to see how they both developed feelings for one another and that they did not have much melodrama making their connection complicated. I really loved reading this book - the writing style, the characters, and the romance were all great!

Absolutely delightful. A fresh interpretation on the Shakespeare classic "Much Ado About Nothing." The author combined enemies to lovers AND fake dating. And I simply swooned by the description alone.

BUT, the book is so delightfully character-driven, Beatrice and Jamie gave each other so much balance and brought out the best in each other. Plus, all the side characters like Juliet and Toni and Sula made the book feel so warm and cozy.

I'm HOPING there will be additional books about the Wilmot sisters. Fingers crossed.

An adorable romance and great representation? Sign me up. Bea Wilmot and Jamie Westenberg don’t have anything in common except a group of acquaintances and a meet-disaster. Then the people closest to them play Cupid and trick them into going on a date. To try to get revenge, Bea and Jamie decide to fake date before having a spectacular breakup. But when it turns out it’s actually pretty easy to pretend to be in love, they start to wonder if maybe two wrongs make a right after all. Chloe Liese has an amazing ability to craft wonderful romantic stories with depth and complexity. This book was no exception. Bea and Jamie all had moments of frustration along with moments where they are so extremely relatable. Although I can’t speak to the authenticity of the neurodivergent representation (Bea has autism and Jamie has anxiety and compulsions), it feels very realistic and in-line with my own experiences. Of course, everyone’s experience is different, but seeing these nuanced representations as one component of a story that’s ultimately really about love and finding partnership makes me so happy. I want more of these kinds of books. Outside of the representation, the rest of this book was also great. Bea and Jamie are adorable and so there for each other in every moment. There’s a lot of open communication and understanding about boundaries and limitations. Despite some difficulties, Bea’s sisters and friend group are also supportive and feel three-dimensional. I don’t know what the plans are, but I really hope we get Juliet and Kate’s stories! Usually when I write a review, I have a clear set of things that didn’t work for me for a particular book. However, I don’t really have anything that I didn’t like and/or appreciate about this story.

There were definitely some tough moments that I might have preferred were not included (read the content warnings letter at the beginning of the book), but I completely understand why they are there and can appreciate the additional components/complexity they add to the story and the future series (I’m assuming that’s happening, and I will be so sad if it doesn’t!). In case it wasn’t already clear, I definitely recommend reading this book. It’s a beautiful romance and had many moments that were funny (I actually laughed out loud a few times), heartwarming, or heartbreaking. Whether or not you’ve ever read a book by Chloe Liese, you don’t want to miss out on this one!

A believable enemies to fake relationship to lovers with a perfectly terrible beginning and one of my favorite takes on Much Ado that I've ever read.

Thank you to Netgalley and Berkley for sending me a copy of this book! All opinions are my own!

Honestly, this book was absolutely delightful until the last 15-20% just completely ruined everything. The reason for the 3rd act breakup makes absolutely no sense at all, ends up just seeming kinda petty and completely out of place, and ruins the entire vibe of the book. There's no proper reconciliation, it's just - oh yes I love you so it doesn't matter that you were entirely illogical in that weird breakup, I'll just take you right back because that's what is meant to happen. It put a bad taste in my mouth and left me with a ruined picture of the first part of the book.

I did love the representation that was in the book, though it felt like neither was truly explored all too in depth. But I loved the way that Jamie accommodates Bea and stands up for her when others aren't as willing as he is. They are very sweet together and were such a fun couple to watch unfold.

I wish I had more good things to say, but my love of the first portion was really tainted by how out of pocket the last part was.

I enjoyed the representation in this book, however I just didn't like it as much as the Bergman Brothers books. I just didn't quite hit the right notes for me.

Chloe Lies NEVER MISSES.

Enemies to lovers is one of my favorite tropes and this one was perfection. Bea was so unapologetically herself which we love to see in a FMC. Jamie-- with his tortoise shell glasses and his "prime and proper" attitude... like are you kidding me. Do I need to say more?

This is the first in the series and you definitely do not want to miss it.

Chloe Liese is a force to be reckoned with. There is magic in each and every one of her books and reading them feels like a privilege. Two Wrongs Make a Right is an instant forever favorite.

4.5⭐️ I absolutely adored this book so much. It made my heart so happy and put the biggest smile on my face.

The characters, plot, and spice were all just so amazing. Also the way that Jamie was quite literally obsessed with Bea made me SWOON! I love this universe and I can’t wait for Better Hate Than Never!

“You are everything I want, just as you are, no conditions or clauses, no end date or revenge, just you.” 💛

If for some reason you have not read Two Wrongs Make a Right by Chloe Liese yet, let me tell you why you should rectify that ASAP. This book had me hooked from the get-go, and I couldn't put it down. Picture this: a disastrous meet cute, some meddling friends and family, and the need to get revenge on said friends and family. Sparks fly, and you just know there's some serious chemistry brewing!

Bea and Jamie are seemingly opposites, but they'll muscle through all that if it means they can fake date and then break up, just to prove to their meddling loved ones that they need to mind their own business once and for all. Cue the amazing banter and unexpected vulnerability. Watching their relationship evolve was heartwarming and left me grinning like a fool. Chloe Liese is a masterful storyteller, combining romance, tenderness, and just the right amount of steaminess. It's a delightful reminder that sometimes, two wrongs can make a right.

Much Ado About Nothing is one my favorite Shakespeare plays and I loved this modern romance novel adaptation. The neurodivergent and anxiety representation was amazing and there was an amazing array of diverse side characters and found family. I always enjoy watching the process from fake dating to realizing they are in a real relationship.

The third act breakup and the reasoning behind it are what knocked off a star for me. I don't enjoy third act breakups in general and the reason for the breakup seemed a bit contrived to me and just didn't, in my opinion, make much sense.
