Two Wrongs Make a Right had everything I love in books. The way the characters met each other where they were instead of trying to change them. The humor, fun plot, and chemistry was absolutely perfect. I completely adored this book.

Did I stay up until 4:30am to finish this book because I literally could not out it down? Yes. Yes I did. Chloe Liese is one of those authors who will never write something that doesn’t grip me by the soul, and refuse to let me go, and this story was no different.

Chloe never fails to make people feel like they belong, like they are *worthy* with her stories, with her words. Her representation is like a warm hug to all nuerodiverse people, myself included. Not to mention the gentle yet brilliant way she tied in the themes and tropes from Beatrice and Benedict’s story in this reimagining - including the clever way she included both names for Bae and Jamie.

Chloe’s banter is witty and elegant but will still have you snort laughing. Her tension and chemistry will you have sweating and swoony. And her descriptions will paint a picture so vivid you can help but picture it in electric color. And her affirmations that every single person deserves the love story of their choosing will make you feel so valued and loved, even if you don’t have anything specifically in common with that character. Chloe’s writing only improves with every story, and this new series only further proves her mastery over storytelling and I can’t wait to see where it goes.

Chloe can do no wrong for me. I have loved watching her grow in her writing and her first traditionally published book was as top knotch as her indie books!

These neurodivergent characters stole my heart and I am so glad to see them presented more in books.

The romance made me so happy, they had their difficulties but I could see the love they had for each other so easily!

A contemporary new spin on The Taming of the Shrew written by none other than Chloe Liese? I'm in.

Admittedly, this story didn't resonate initially. I am glad I circled back, because my time spent with enemies turned lovers, Bea and Jamie was highly enjoyable.

Liese has such a talent at writing neurodivergent characters. While Bea was wonderful and so relatable, it was Jamie who stole my heart. Once his hostile shell was cracked up, this man was pure marshmallow and so lovely.

The third act breakup- ehhh.... not my favorite. However, Liese's talented writing kept the story flowing and the ending was just the cutest. For others who enjoy a feel good romance with depth- check out Two Wrongs Make A Right!

My love for Only When It’s Us makes me want to devour everything Chloe Liese writes, and this book just confirmed that she’s now a one-click author for me.

Tropes included in this book:
• Enemies to Lovers
• Fake Dating

The relationship dynamics in Chloe’s books are so well written. While this book was fluffy and light it also had Autism rep and Anxiety.
Those tender moments between Jamie and Bea made me aww and squeal every time.
I mean, the man has two cats. If that isn’t perfect enough for you then read the book to see everything else that makes him perfect (a gentleman in the streets and a freak in the sheets, my kryptonite). And Beatrice is such a badass. I see myself a little in her and there’s nothing i adore more than characters you can relate to.
I will say it threw me off that the break up happened in the last 90% but overall everything else was perfect with great representation.

This romcom is a must read.

I was weary of reading this as I haven't been a fan of this author, but really wanted to give it a go and am glad I did because it was a lot more enjoyable for me. It wasn't a favorite of mine, but was easy to read and quite enjoyable.

i think this is the best autistic romance I’ve ever read. I wish that real life was like this.

I was so taken aback by how Bea’s autism is never once treated like a burden or a problem in this book, and neither is Jamie’s anxiety or compulsions. I couldn’t believe how he listen to her and accommodated her and seemed to genuinely care about making life easier for her. It was really important to me that Bea never saw herself as less for being Autistic. I wish I could say the same thing about myself. I ended up reading this ARC on Autistic Pride Day, and ended up crying through almost all of it because I haven’t been feeling very proud lately or having an easy time, and it was such a salve to read this and imagine that stories and experiences like this are possible in some way.

I love Bea and Jamie so much. I thought it was so funny how he would keep remarking on how different they were, because the whole time i kept thinking about how they were so similar.

I’ve yet to be disappointed by a Chloe Liese so far. This was no exception. I will say I did think the ending/obligatory third act breakup was a little rushed and unnecessary, but the the grand scope of the novel it didn’t outweigh the rest for me because that’s a convention of the genre.

Review: TWO WRONGS MAKE A RIGHT by Chloe Liese shorturl.at/fhIQV
Publication Date: November 22, 2022
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Reviewed by: Reading in Pajamas/ Donna
Rated: 4.5 Stars

I instantly enjoyed this romance. Loving how the author dealt with neurodivergent issues as well as those suffering from anxiety disorders. She didn’t digress into stereotypical anecdotes but kept it real and relatable. Bea was quirky, fun, and loveable. It was a forgone conclusion that the anxiety ridden, uptight Jamie wouldn’t stand a chance. I became invested in them and their relationship fast. Each of them was socially awkward yet were able to find that tendril of connection in each other. The story had humor, friendship, love and angst from family, and above all – a sexy as all get out romance. I hope her sisters and friends get a book as well.

Thank you to @netgalley @berkleypub and @berkleyromance for a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you to @prhaudio for a free download of the audiobook. And thank you to @berittalksbooks and @dg_reads for including me on this buddy read.

It is one thing to have a romcom give you all the feels, but Two Wrongs Make a Right made me feel scene from the writing of the main characters. I love seeing neurodiverse. Characters who’s brains buzz from too much stimulus, who have good intentions but are also a hot mess at times, who deal with anxiety but are still funcitonal.

In this book, Bea and Jamie’s friends keep getting pushed together by their friends. They are seen as the quirky friends, but due to their neuro-syncrocies seem to “get” each other. They are sensitive to each other, especially when surrounded by family and friends. I enjoyed the relationship storyline.

Truly a well written novel filled with laughs in an opposites attract novel! I love the chemistry between our two main characters, Jamie Westenberg and Bea Wilmot. The adorable cover caught my eye, but it is author Chloe Liese's writing that totally has me under her spell! Well done!

Im late posting this review but WOW what a gorgeous book. So many things to list off that I adored:

-First off, the COVER is just stunning.
-Sensitive, realistic and at times hilarious autism rep that made my autistic self laugh and cry and just wish I could be Bea's best friend.
-A new Chloe Liese hero to lust after and add to the others that live rent-free in my head
-A fabulous cast of characters that feel completely real from the first page
-Beautifully crafted sex scenes
-smooth, witty dialogue
-expertly paced

So all in all, safe to say I loved it ALOT.

I love Chloe Liese! I've only read two of her books now but they were both amazing with well done characters and a great plot. I especially loved the enemies to friends to lovers and the slow burn this book had going on. Also shout out to the representation she had within this book.
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review!

I LOVED this opposites attract romance ✨

Just like their friends thought, Bea and Jamie are PERFECT for each other. I loved how much they do not like each other at first, yet slowly fall for each other over time. I am such a sucker for that trope.

Everything in this book was done so, so well. The characterization, the dialogue, the tropes, the slow burn, the pacing, the steam. I loved it all.

I have loved all of Chloe’s books, and this one was no exception. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!

Much Ado About Nothing is my favorite Shakespeare play, so I jumped at the chance to read this fun retelling by Chloe Liese, Two Wrongs Make a Right.
⠀
Meddling, manipulative friends force two opposites, Bea and Jamie, on a date. They have nothing in common except, now, a mutual desire to get revenge on their friends. They decide to fake date and stage a horrible break up that will hopefully stop their friends from matchmaking any more.
⠀
Big twist in this, the two main characters actually communicate and I LOVE that! I felt their chemistry and loved how unique both of them were. I guess opposites can attract.
⠀
Liese wrote the Bergman Brothers series that is so enjoyable, so it is no surprise that this one is well written and enjoyable as well. I think it sets up for a new series as well.
⠀

Chloe Liese is just fabulous. I'll be honest, I was nervous diving into a book that wasn't about Bergman brother, but I'm so glad. This hate to love book was so good. You felt the tension between the characters and it made the sweet moments that much better. A home run!!!

Chloe Loess’s strengths are writing such wonderful, healthy dynamics who are always open to communication PLUS she knows how to write an excellent sex scene. I think I’ll always enjoy the romances and characters she crafts because her baseline is just so much better than a lot of other authors.

However, I didn’t find this book to be a great Much Ado About Nothing retelling. The characters meet for the first time (in a painfully awkward extended sequence) and are missing the established rapport of the original Beatrice and Benedick. I never understood why Bea’s friend were so insistent on setting her up with a man they didn’t know, defeating the purpose of the cahoots from the original play. This felt more like a vague nod towards Shakespeare, and j wish the story hadn’t been marketed as a retelling because it simply was not.

I wanna take this moment to celebrate Chloe Liese. She has a new book coming out on 11/22 called Two Wrongs Make a Right and it’s her first traditionally published book. And it is thoughtful, smart, funny, and oh so sexy.

*Chloe and I are going to be chatting this book and all things Shakespeare, romance, and hedgehogs on 11/14 on IG Live!*

But why I want to celebrate Chloe is that she is writing fully realized characters. She’s writing Neurodiverse and queer characters who are nerdy and hot and complex. And she writes these characters and stories so beautifully - the flow of the language, the sensuality of the love scenes, the tension. Romantic art at its finest.

And now don’t even get me started on the secondary characters (I can’t wait for Jules and Kate’s stories I’m SO READY). Plus there is edging and y’all folks know I love sex in my romance books 🥵🥵🥵

I can imagine it can be stressful to go from indie pub to trade pub and I want to make sure y’all are getting your coins and hype out for Chloe. So preorder Two Wrongs and fall in love with Bea and Jamie.

Chloe. You know I love you and am so excited for others to read this wonderful book.

Chloe Liese has done it again! What a joyful book and I love how she addresses the neurodivergent rep. Will read every Chloe book for as long as she writes books.

thank you berkley for sending me an EARC of this book! 🫶🏻

5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

rep in the book: autistic mc, anxiety (li), pansexual mc, bisexual sc, more queer rep in several side characters

this book was EVERYTHING!! 🥹🥹 fake dating, grumpy sunshine HAS to be my favorite combo always, but adding enemies to lovers to the mix ughhh 🥹🥹🥹 bea was such a delightful mc and i related to her several times, she was so fun!!! and the side characters were amazing as well, i loved them all with my entire heart and simply need more of them! AND JAMIE??!! OMG THE PERFECT MAN 😭😭😭 WHERE CAN I GET ONE LIKE RN? and his anxiety was just… wow. literally loved EVERY SECOND, and the way their relationship develops as well… literally can’t handle it UGHH

the one thing i didnt like was that there was no epilogue… WHERE IS MY EPILOGUE I FEEL PLAYED!!! i already miss them 😭😭😭

When I saw this one was compared to Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, I knew I wanted to read it! Add this one to your TBR if you’re looking for a swoony modern day twist on the original!
