Two Wrongs Make a Right
Book Feature - Two Wrongs Make a Right by Chloe Liese
HBL Note: Ever since seeing Ten Things I Hate About You starring Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger in 1999 (I was still in middle school at the time!) I’ve enjoyed watching and reading retellings of Shakespeare’s classic stories. TWO WRONGS MAKE A RIGHT by Chloe Liese is a reimagining of Much Ado About Nothing and incorporates some of my favorite rom com tropes including opposites attract and fake dating.
The story follows two people who have very little in common except for their agreement that they’re all wrong for each other. Their friends, however, think otherwise and are determined to set them up. So they decide to fake date and orchestrate a massive blow-up of a break-up to get their friends off their backs and stop the matchmaking once and for all. But you know how these fake-dating stories go, the dating gets a little easier and little more enjoyable as they go along…
“Exquisite tension, hilarious banter, steamy romance and a hero and heroine with personalities that burst from the pages. A top must-read of the year!”—Samantha Young, New York Times bestselling author of A Cosmic Kind of Love
From the publisher:
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?
