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 their 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？

I really enjoyed this！！ Fake dating is hit or miss for me， especially with revenge involved。 But while the setup was a little shaky， I ultimately really liked the execution。 You got the whole is this real/is this fake vibe without it being too drawn out， and they didn't choose revenge over pursuing a real relationship， which I was really worried about。 The only thing is I didn't like the third-act breakup。 （view spoiler）[I didn't think it really made sense that Jamie had to stay away after Julie I really enjoyed this！！ Fake dating is hit or miss for me， especially with revenge involved。 But while the setup was a little shaky， I ultimately really liked the execution。 You got the whole is this real/is this fake vibe without it being too drawn out， and they didn't choose revenge over pursuing a real relationship， which I was really worried about。 The only thing is I didn't like the third-act breakup。 （view spoiler）[I didn't think it really made sense that Jamie had to stay away after Juliet's breakup — even if it's hard for her to know Bea's happy with her shitty ex's former roommate， wouldn't she still want Bea to be happy？？ Especially once she realized the extent of Bea's previous breakup。 And then the story focused more on Jamie realizing he was wrong when he really wasn't？？ Idk。 Fortunately the third act breakup was pretty short， so it didn't ruin the book for me。 （hide spoiler）] All in all， I enjoyed this a lot， and I'm really looking forward to Kate and Christopher's story！ 。。。more

DNF 39% endless telling， very little showing， not nearly enough witty banter。 Wouldn’t know it’s a Much Ado About Nothing retelling if it didn’t say so in the blurb。

how many times can an author reference a character blushing？ apparently more than 40 before I stopped counting because it was becoming ridiculous and repetitive。 there were also three instances of blushing in the 11 pages of the book excerpt at the end of this one。 BRUH。

good book！Chloe Liese does a great job of creating flawed characters without you feeling sorry forty for them。 She also creates relatable characters whether you identify as them or just see their human trait of vulnerability。 Loved it！

My favourite thing about Chloe’s writing has to be her love for her characters and how every detail is so thoughtful。 I fall in love with all of her characters because of those tiny details。 Because of the care she takes to consistently show us each person’s most special parts。 Jamie and Bea are an unlikely but somehow perfect match。 I love Bea’s chaotic energy and Jamie’s soft heart。 A paediatrician who rescues elderly cats？ And then the soup in the freezer？ I was done for。 I can’t wait to read My favourite thing about Chloe’s writing has to be her love for her characters and how every detail is so thoughtful。 I fall in love with all of her characters because of those tiny details。 Because of the care she takes to consistently show us each person’s most special parts。 Jamie and Bea are an unlikely but somehow perfect match。 I love Bea’s chaotic energy and Jamie’s soft heart。 A paediatrician who rescues elderly cats？ And then the soup in the freezer？ I was done for。 I can’t wait to read about Kate and Jules’ happy endings too！ 。。。more

You know how some books become DNFs because you’re not in the right headspace for it？ Well， this book is the opposite — because I had more headspace than usual， I was more generous with reading it than I otherwise would be and finished it， when I might not have been able to otherwise。This book did not work for me， which is a shame because ever since Chloe Liese’s first Bergman Brothers book， I haven’t jived with any of her writing。 I think that first book was an exception to the rule :/Spoilers You know how some books become DNFs because you’re not in the right headspace for it？ Well， this book is the opposite — because I had more headspace than usual， I was more generous with reading it than I otherwise would be and finished it， when I might not have been able to otherwise。This book did not work for me， which is a shame because ever since Chloe Liese’s first Bergman Brothers book， I haven’t jived with any of her writing。 I think that first book was an exception to the rule :/Spoilers ahead:My problem with this book is that it felt very tell， no show， and I had to suspend a lot of disbelief throughout the entire story。 All of the initial setup felt like TOO MUCH — so you’re telling me that upon their first meeting， the heroine tripped， fell， and spilled all her food/drink on the hero THREE TIMES， necessitating changing his clothes EVERY TIME？ And then they became mortal enemies until their friends set them up？ And they went along with it as revenge？ This just did not hold water for me at all。 And then near the end， after the heroine’s sister goes through a shitty breakup， the hero and heroine MUST BREAK UP because they met each other through the heroine’s sister and them being in touch would remind the sister of her failed breakup？ WHAT。 And then they got back together because the heroine’s sister went on a trip to find herself？ So you’re telling me they wouldn’t have gotten back together otherwise？ 🥴🥴🥴 （I’ve never read Much Ado About Nothing — maybe this book matches the play beat by beat， but all I know is that it didn’t translate for a contemporary。）Furthermore， while I understand this story was about people accepting each other no matter the obstacles， I think there was TOO little conflict over this — it felt like the characters are too fully formed and just a little too perfect， meaning that there were no stakes and people were always 100% accepting。 While I understand that’s a fantasy that’s totally acceptable to many readers， it was just a little too easy for me。Finally， I found the characters’ internal dialogues towards each other just too mushy and overly earnest。 I know this is a me thing， so very much YMMV on this。 。。。more
