I love Chloe Liese's books and this was no exception. I was so into this story from start to finish. Chloe's writing is addicting and the way she writes relationships and character development is captivating. I had such a good time reading this and I'm so excited for the next installment in this series!

3.5 Stars

Beatrice was a quirky character, full of heart, wary of romances after a toxic relationship. Jamie was more of an orderly guy, serious and kind. Set up by Bea's well-meaning sister and boyfriend. They get off to a rocky start with Bea assuming Jamie is an arrogant stick in the mud. With Bea’s sister constantly pushing she comes up with a plan to teach her and the BF a lesson. Bea and Jamie decide to fake-date and fake a bad breakup to show that the meddling isn't a good idea.

The fake dating isn't so fake because they were each attracted from the beginning. I enjoyed the sparks and chemistry.

This was a mostly fun opposites-attract romance. I thought the conflict was weak and the final drama was ridiculous, but overall enjoyable.

A copy was kindly provided by Berkley in exchange for an honest review.

TW: biophobia, toxic relationship, manipulation, absentee parents, panic attack, and others I may have missed.

Bea and Jamie realize that they’ve been on the receiving end of their friends meddling. Playing Cupid because they think they would be good together? Preposterous - they can’t stand each other the minute they meet. They want payback, so they agree to fake a relationship to convince everyone the meddling worked, only for them to call them out at the end of their plan. Except of course, the more time they spend together, the more they realize that maybe what they’re feeling isn’t pretend.

I just realized that I never reviewed/marked it read on Goodreads 🤦🏼‍♀️ oops so sorry

Chloe Liese is an author that never really misses for me. She jams her books full of rep, witty banter, relatable-to-me characters (neuros), and always has such a good grasp on where she wants her story to go.

TWMaR hits all of those boxes. Two people who fully believed they were opposites in everything only realized they had way more in common than they realized because their friends meddled. I thought their progression into real friendship was so cute.

Communicating your boundaries is one thing, but having the person you’re telling them to actually follow through and make them easier for you to handle is something entirely. Bea and Jamie were able to bring that out in each other: Jamie experimented with puréed soups because Bea has an aversion to textures of veggies. Jamie struggles expressing himself and Bea acknowledges her interruptions/shutting down.

I haven’t read Much Ado About Nothing in a very long time, so I can’t speak on how loose or close the reimagining is, but it’s a great book that definitely stands on its own.

Despite the fact that it was pretty obvious pretty quickly that the two love interests were perfect for each other, this was a charming book. I loved their banter and the unique set up was great. The ending left a bit to be desired, I didn’t like that she sent him away for no good reason and so the 3rd act break up was tough. However, I’m game for a good Shakespeare adaptation anyway, and loved seeing neuro divergent representation. I’d read the next in the series.

I've heard good things about the author, so I was excited to read Two Wrongs Make a Right. I was definitely not disappointed since I felt the book was a romance with depth. As a mom to an autistic child, I especially appreciated the representation. I liked that Bea wasn't portrayed in the standard way that the media shows autistic adults. The romance was fun and sooooo awkward at first. Loved the intimate scenes and the development from enemies to lovers. Some of the dialogue was a little cringe to me but otherwise a solid contemporary romance.

𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗪𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 by Chloe Liese is the first book of hers that I'm reading. And it sure didn't disappoint 🥰

I felt the banter and sexual tension between Bea and Jamie, and I found myself saying at times can we get it done already 😂😂😂😂

Bea is my fave because of how simple and intelligent she is. She embraced her autism wholeheartedly and didn't let it define what she did or wanted to do. Jamie had his own anxiety — and seeing him confide in Bea about it was so sweet. This book is as spicy as it looks 🫣🤭🫣🤭🫣

Thanks @berkleyromance ❤️

Two Wrongs Make a Right is a book I was looking forward to. I have read most of Chloe’s indie books and loved them. However, this book was a miss for me. While I understand that publishing when there is a contract has expectations and requirements that need to be fulfilled, the magic Chloe had as an indie author is missing from this book. While I applaud the acknowledgment of neurodivergent characters, mental Heath and disabilities, there is no need for a kitchen sink of issues. This causes a disservice when not all important topics are given the appropriate development to truly advocate for that issue. Furthermore, making every issue the forefront of every conversation is a form of shoving it up my throat. Show me the adversities and complexities of the characters rather than telling me how I should feel.

This book also had a lot of singular plot points that were not developed. For instance, when the ex-girlfriend stops by to checkout Bea and that’s all we get. What is the purpose of this?

I love this author. The representation throughout the book felt authentic and well done. I think the characters felt like real people and I was rooting for them to have the ending and love they deserve. At times the story felt a bit too structured. The third act breakup felt rushed and didn't make a lot of sense for how well the characters were able to communicate before then. I think changing the pace of the conflict to be different from other books would have been a great benefit. There were also some conflicts that went unresolved, but that may be because it is the first in the series. Overall I loved this book and I am looking forward to the rest of the series!

Loved this! The perfect enemies to lovers rom-com that will get you in your feels...not to mention, holy spice! That build up was everything!

I really enjoyed this one! I found some fault with the inevitable trope breakup in the last section, it didn't feel like it flowed with the rest of the novel, but other than that, I was a huge fan. Liese has a great writing style and does a great job writing banter between love interests. Usually, I hate enemies or rivals to-lovers themes in my romances, but this was executed so well that I couldn't help but stay invested through the whole book.

I think this book could be really really good but I still wasn’t into it at over 10% and I’m not sure why. I think it’s one I’ll need to come back and try later though.

Chloe Liese can do no wrong! These books are an instant buy for me, I know there will be well-rounded, complex characters and slow-burn romances. She writes romances for real life.

What to expect:
*Enemies to lovers
*Neurodivergent representation
*Dual POV

Final thoughts: I loved this book! Chloe Liese is an amazing author and writes such realistic characters. I loved Jamie and Bea. They were a fun couple with great chemistry.

Enemies to lovers! Fake dating! Chloe Liese! All things I love!

But seriously, I've really liked every book Chloe Liese has written -- they're always interesting, new takes on the tropes we all know and love, and this one was no different.

I absolutely adored this book! It had incredible depth of characters and I did not want it to end! This was my first Chloe Liese book and it will not be my last.

Chloe is the queen of a slow burn romance! I really enjoyed Bea and Jamie's story! This is a fun modern retelling of Much Ado About Nothing. The characters are well written, fun to read about, and easy to support. I'm excited there will be more in this series and can't wait to hear who is next and which play it will be based on! There was great banter, romance, and I also really liked the heavier topics included. I love that Chloe includes characters that may not traditionally be represented in her books. Bea is autistic and Jamie has anxiety There was some highly unnecessary conflict included that kept me from loving this one that just felt over dramatic.

I've read a few fake dating stories recently and this one was well done!

Read if you enjoy:

Revenge story
Neurodivergent/anxiety representation

Thank you NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for the advanced copy of Two Wrongs Make a Right!
Because I love Chloe Liese's Bergman Brothers series, I was incredibly excited for this book, and it did not disappoint. I basically devoured it in less than a day because I simply couldn't put it down! I fell for Beatrice and Jamie, their story, their connection, their strengths and weaknesses. I've read many great romances this year, but this one captivated me in ways only Chloe Liese knows how to do.

this lost me when the characters finally got together. i felt like after that they were very bland. the smut was also a little cringey in my opinion.

Short Synopsis: Bea’s twin sister sets her up with her boyfriends roommate, to enact revenge Bea and Jamie decide to fake date to get back at them.

My thoughts: I just really loved the way this one played out. The meet disaster that developed into frenemies, to fake dating, to lovers. Jamie was the epitome of swoon worthy book boyfriend material. He went out of his way to not only make Bea feel comfortable, but also to understand her and how to help avoid triggering situations. The relationship that developed between Bea and Jamie was so healthy and strong.

I love reading about twin relationships probably because I have bffs that are twins! I really loved the sibling dynamic they had, and how they had each others back.

The one thing I struggled through was the lack of resolution between Jamie and his family. I’d have liked a little unpacking there, but maybe a spin off could solve that!

I did partial audio and partial ebook reading of this. The audio was so well done with multiple narrators that helped bring the characters to life!

Read if you love:
* Neurodivergent characters
* Healthy relationships
* Fake dating
* Swoony Pediatric doctors
* Meet cute disasters
* Dual POV, and dual audio narration

Thank you so much Berkley, PRH Audio and Netgalley for the complimentary copy of this book! It’s out now!

Chloe Liese can truly do no wrong! Loved this reimagining of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. I was a theatre nerd in high school so I love all Shakespeare reimagings. I love that Jamie and Bea were complete opposites but they worked so well together. I love that Chloe's books are inclusive - she always includes disabled or neurodivergent characters in her books and I appreciate that she portrays them with accuracy and does it with such care. As a neurodivergent person, it makes me so happy to see them in more books. Chloe always makes me feel "seen" - thank you, Chloe!

Rating: 4.5 stars (rounded up to 5).

Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Romance for the eARC in exchange for my honest review. And huge thanks to PRH Audio for the complementary audio book!
