Chloe Liese's writing is superbly funny and heartbreaking. I love who she creates characters with flaws that end up being their strengths.

Chloe Liese has done it again! She's written a story that has burrowed deep into my heart and won't ever leave. This book is so tender and kind, it felt like the exact book I needed to read right now.

I absolutely ADORED Bea and Jamie. Separately, they're fantastic: Bea is funny and smart and sparkling, and fiercely loves her people. Jamie is the quintessential Capricorn, reserved and by the rules, but also tender with a sneaky sense of humor that pummels Bea once he unleashes it. They get off on the wrong foot at first, but watching them learn to trust each other and open up and be vulnerable was so incredibly beautiful. One of my favorite lines is after Bea's revealed something about herself to Jamie. She says "it means a lot that you didn't act like you see me differently now" and Jamie replies, "I don't see you differently. I see you better." That's the running theme with these two - as they peel back their layers and show their full, authentic selves, they fall more deeply in love with each other, and isn't that what we all want? (YES.)

Chloe has such a gift of writing stories that make the person reading it feel safe and seen. I love the worlds she builds, where good people have happy endings and the assholes are taken to task. In a world where very little feels fair or just right now, seeing love win is so important. The romance she builds between her characters is always honest and tender, and Two Wrongs Make a Right is no exception in every regard. I absolutely adored this book (as I knew I would) and can't wait for what I hope is [redacted] and [redacted]'s book next!!

Chloe Liese can do no wrong. Ever. She could hit me with her car and I’d be like “aight well I guess I had it coming.”

Chloe is the queen of inclusive romances, and has proven that time and time again with the Bergman Brothers. And she did it again with Two Wrongs Make A Right.

It had neurodivergence. It had a sexy ass male lead and a relatable af lady lead that I would also date. It had lovable side characters (except for the ones who are not lovable at all) who I can’t wait to learn more about in the coming books.

It covered emotional abuse in such a raw, real, but gentle and empathetic way.

In short, Bea, I’m coming for your man. But can we still be best friends?

Thank you to Chloe Liese, Berkley, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this eARC.

In true Chloe fashion, I devoured this book.

The amount of times I read a line and just screamed were too high to count. Bea is amazing and she's an artist and I need all of her work asap. Jamie is the sweetest, most caring, and understand. These two are just perfect and balance each other out so well.

One thing I love about Chloe's writing is the ability to keep it light, but have really great reflective moments of understanding. These characters had multiple discussions that made me feel seen in different ways, and each one just made me love them more.

The relationship between Bea and her twin sister was done really well. Her increasing suspicion of Jean-Claude was perfect, and I picked up on all the red flags right from the start.

For the third act breakup, I thought it was fitting, since it mirrored what Jules had said to Jean-Claude when Bea broke up with her boyfriend. It shows how connected the twins really are, and I loved that. Bea's mom coming into play was also so sweet, and I could see my mom doing something similar.

I thought the setup was done really well for the sister trilogy. It's sprinkled throughout the book, by giving you just enough information about Bea's two sisters to want to know more about them. The hints

Oh my goodness, I think this is Chloe Liese's best novel yet! What a talented writer. I absolutely love the care that goes into crafting these characters. The disability and mental health rep are done with care and make it easy to learn about and show how anyone deserves love. All romance (and non romance) readers should give this book a read. I really enjoyed this and will request the public library purchase copies.

This book was just ok for me. I liked the premise and I liked Bea and Jamie but I almost think I would like them better in small doses. Their personalities seemed so over the top and Beas stubborness became old very fast.

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley.
3.5 Stars!!

This was a fun read. I love Chloe's writing and adore her Bergman Series so much.

Things I loved: Autism rep, anxiety rep, fake dating trope, and a slow burn romance.

Things I didn't totally love: Didn't love how some plots got resolved or...the lack of a resolution. Like Jamie's issues with his family, and I felt like a lot of Juliet's plot was all over the place, and felt very rushed. Actually a lot of the back half of the book felt rushed.

Overall I did enjoy this book and so excited for others to get their hands on this.

Chloe Liese can do no wrong. I've said it before and I'll continue saying it until she writes a flop (which I sincerely don't think she's capable of doing).

I adored this book! It has two of my favorite romance tropes wrapped up in a perfect little package: fake dating and enemies to lovers. Beatrice and Jamie are determined to go their separate ways after a disastrous (yet oddly hot) first encounter, only to be shocked when they realize they are being set up by Beatrice's sister and Jamie's friend to date each other. Deciding they won't let the two get away with their plan, they decide to fake date for a while before springing it on their matchmakers that they knew what was going on the whole time.

Unsurprisingly, this fake dating situation turns casual romance turns head over heels falling in love. As with Chloe's other books, the characters are beautifully written. Bea struggles in social situations while Jamie struggles to let go of his control, so of course the two seem like a disastrous coupling, but the way they communicate with each other and ensure they are both comfortable at any given moment shows just how perfect they are together.

Overall, I loved this book so much and am BEGGING Chloe to finish the series with the secondary cast. Jules needs her happily ever after and Kate and Christopher absolutely need to get together.

Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinions.

"That woman is a tattooed tornado of flying cocktails and unsolicited astrological commentary. We could not be more different or unsuited."

In this opposites attract, fake dating romance, Two Wrongs Make a Right flips the script on the traditional tropes in an original and entertaining novel with lots of steam and incredible inclusivity. Bea and Jamie couldn't have had a worse initial introduction and their friends think the jokes on them when they secretly arrange for the pair to go on a blind date. But when the rouse is revealed, the pair decide to seek revenge by dating, then epically breaking up. The only problem? The two can't seem to resist each other, even though the sparks they're feeling are supposed to be fake.

One thing I love about Chloe Liese's books are how strong and independent her characters are. Both Bea and Jamie are fantastic leads. Bea, our tattooed heroine, is sassy, snarky, and quick witted, not afraid to go toe to toe with Jamie. She has high emotional walls built up after a failed toxic relationship, so seeing her walls slowly fall around Jamie was a treat. I loved how sweet she is to him once she realizes her true feelings.

Jamie is nerdy hot, reading and playing chess on dates, while living with two geriatric cats. He plays by the rules, because rules are safe and is battling not measuring up to his family's standards, even though he's a pediatrician. I loved that he worked so hard to earn Bea's trust and some of the ways he showed he cared were incredibly endearing.

"I don't see you differently. I see you better."

Two Wrongs offers amazing disability and mental health rep, showing how every person deserves love. Because the pair see the world differently than most, they speak honestly with each other and promote open lines of communication, even in a fake relationship. With this, they are able to see each other for who they truly are, giving each other what they need to feel safe and loved. Both show up for each other through acts of love, which are some of my favorite parts of the book.

Where this book could have been just another fake dating romance, the original twist where the two seek revenge was such a treat. The steam is top notch. Bea and Jamie dance around the palpable sexual tension until it's too much to handle and what ensues is pure romantic magic.

With a new series, there are characters and world building that needs to take place. Because of this, the start of the book was a tad slower as I found my bearings with Bea's family and their group of friends. Yet once I got the dynamics straight, I fell quickly into the enchanted world and cannot wait to see where the series goes next. I loved the dynamic between Bea and her twin Jules. Their sisterly bond is just the right mix of sweet, yet overbearing love.

A huge thanks to Berkley Romance and Chloe Liese for the advanced copy of the book. Two Wrongs Make a Right publishes November 22.

This is a fun comparison to Shakespeare's Much Ado about nothing. I loved our characters and their chemistry.
I loved that our characters were more modern, having tattoos and just not being super skinny and not the romance stereo type.

A fun read that was hard to put down.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC!

Jamie and Bea are our reluctant daters, much like a 21st Century Benedict and Beatrice from Much Ado About Nothing. They are set up by their friends but, in a twist, they decide to fake a relationship then have it blow up in the faces of their scheming friends. Hmmm, might this ‘fake’ part go awry? Bea is a wonderful quirky artist who is on the autism spectrum. Jamie is fastidious in everything from clothing to life and has an anxiety order. They are not your average everyday hero and heroine but they are so much more interesting and lovingly accessible.
And let’s not forget the other couple: Jean-Claude and Juliet are similar to Much Ado’s Claudio and Hero characters- with a big ‘ole modern day twist. No spoilers here, though.
Jamie and Bea have such a charming and downright steamy romance going on (don’t unusually think steamy and charming, but there you go). I look forward to recommending this to my patrons.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

The first in a new series by a much beloved author of mine, this book was one of my MOST anticipated reads of 2022 and it did not disappoint!! A loose Much ado about nothing retelling, featuring twin sisters Juliet (Jules) and Beatrice (Bea), this story sees Jules trying to set Bea up with her boyfriend's roommate West (Jamie).

What follows is a dual perspective, fauxmance full of sizzling chemistry between two complete opposites who find in each other a person they can be their true, most vulnerable selves with. I LOVED the diverse representation in this book. Both main characters are neurodivergent, Bea is Pan and on the spectrum and Jamie suffers from anxiety. Many of the secondary characters are also queer (Juliet is Bi) and their friend group is full of a great representation of sexualities.

You don't want to miss this book if you love a SLOW burn romance that totally delivers and the swooniest of main characters. The tattoos, the painting, geriatric cats, a hedgehog, THE CLOSET, I could go on and on but I fell hard for Jamie and Bea and am so excited to read the other Wilmot sister's stories next.

Recommended for fans of Sarah Adams's When in Rome series, Ashley Herring Blake's Bright Fall's series or B.K. Borison's Lovelight series. Much thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my advance review copy!

Thank you for the free book PRH International - for me Two Wrongs Make a Right was a five-star read and I loved it so, so much!!

I love the way Chloe Liese writes, I love her sense of humor and the way she balances swoony or funny moments with harder topics, such as - in this book - anxiety, autism or toxic relationships. She has so much compassion and heart in her books that many parts in this book, too, made me tear up. At the same time the banter and the texts between Bea and Jamie were so much fun that I couldn't wait for what was coming next. Thank goodness I'm on vacation while reading this because I couldn't put it down and stayed up reading way past my bedtime!

As an English major and an English teacher Shakespeare is very familiar to me and Two Wrongs Make a Right was a fresh and fun retelling of Much Ado About Nothing with a lot of depth, told beautifully from both Bea's and Jamie's points of view.

I will post five-star reviews on Goodreads, Amazon and Instagram. Thank you again for the ARC!

I could not put this one down! From the beginning, the writing set itself apart from the other books I've read by Chloe Liese. It was so well-rounded and witty. Every single word. I also loved the chemistry between the two main characters. It was there from the beginning and never gave up.

What happens when your twin and her brand new fiance (who you don't love) try to meddle in your love life and set you up with the last person you want? You get even... Two wrongs make a right follows Jamie and Bea after their first meeting does not go to plan that was set up by their "good intention" friends decided the best way to get back at them is to fake date and then break up in a memorable fashion.... Naturally that plan also backfires. Chloe Liese once again cannot do wrong, this book was everything I wanted and more.

Thank you Netgalley and PRH International for giving eARC of this book.

I will really read anything written by chloe liese.
I lovee the dynamic between Bea and Jamie.
They went from hating each other to fake dating for revenge to becoming friends and finally to love each other fiercely.
Thank Chloe Liese for writing characters which makes me feel seen.
TW- toxic relationship
- emotionally abusive parents

I have rewritten this review at least ten times because I am having such a difficult time putting into words how fantastic Two Wrongs Make a Right truly is! This book was SO GOOD. I loved every second of it. Jamie and Bea were *chefs kiss* PERFECT. The way that they fell in love with each other and respected each other so much…ugh it was just TOO GOOD.

With every new book that Chloe comes out with, I say to myself “OKAY THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE” but then the next one comes along and I fall in love with the characters and the story and every single aspect of the book. Literally if you were to ask me which one of her books was my favorite I wouldn’t be able to tell you because they’re all amazing and wonderful!! 😭

10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND.

Thank you to NetGalley, Berkley and Chloe Liese for the e-ARC!!

i love jamie and bea, i love their dynamic, and i love their love. chloe liese, you sneaky genius. you’ll never write a book i don’t love.

#netgalley

Chloe Liese is easily one of my favorite authors of all time, and her traditional pub debut perfectly encapsulates why. TWO WRONGS MAKE A RIGHT is a funny, swoony, heart-warming romance about a pair who fake date for revenge.

A modern spin on Shakespeare’s MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, Bea and Jamie’s story follows a meet-cute setup gone wrong (then oh so right). I loved these characters, and I’m truly so excited for the rest of the books in this trilogy of contemporary Shakespeare retellings.

As an autistic reader, Liese’s ownvoices autism representation is so special to me. I loved Bea’s story arc, and I adored Jamie’s willingness to understand Bea. Jamie’s POV also features fantastic anxiety representation.

TWO WRONGS MAKE A RIGHT highlighted all the reasons I love Liese’s work. If you are interested stories that feature any of the following, I cannot recommend this book enough:
❤️ Nuanced autism and anxiety representation
❤️ A pansexual, artist heroine practically made of sunshine and chaos
❤️ An uptight pediatrician hero who is the softest human deep down
❤️ A steamy, slow-burn romance that will make you feral
❤️ Tropey fake dating goodness (for revenge, of course)
❤️ Gorgeous writing and swoony love confessions
❤️ Exploration of healing and loving after past relationship traumas
❤️ A HEDGEHOG + RESCUE CATS

I loved this book so much. It feels like the biggest hug! I will read absolutely anything Chloe Liese writes.

Content warnings: overstimulation, anxiety, emotional abuse from parents and romantic partners

I love this book with my whole heart!!! The Shakespeare retelling aspect was super fun to read and I loved picking out similarities with other interpretations. Jamie and Bea had such delicious tension and the slow build of their romance through genuine and caring gestures made me love them all the more. I was also really happy with how Juliet’s emotionally abusive relationship was handled and it tied into Bea’s story respectfully and with care. I can’t wait for the rest of these books!!
