As much as I wanted to connect to this book and these characters, I just couldn’t for some reason which is such a shame.

I will start with some positives however. I thought the mental health and neurodivergent rep in this book is excellent, woven carefully into both Bea and Jamie’s characters. Jamie’s anxiety and compulsions were subtly interspersed throughout the book in a way that never felt it was added for the sake of it, but instead showed the readers authentically who he is as a person.

I really enjoyed the side characters and familial relationships throughout the book (except Jamie’s who to be honest I just felt were so blatantly cold and cruel it was almost overdone). Bea’s sisters and friends and parents were a joyful addition to the book, and I wish we got more of them to be honest.

However, I struggled to connect with Bea throughout the book. In fact, I felt that both characters were so exaggerated in their cliches (oh Bea is so clumsy & quirky with her tattoos and hedgehog pet and falling over things every other chapter), that it took me out of the story. The romance was definitely sweet in parts, but at other times it just felt so heavily cutesy that I found myself skimming.

In terms of the plot, I found it weak at best if I’m completely honest. It starts with a ‘fake date revenge plot’ which had quite the interesting premise actually, but this was pretty much written off by a third of the way in. And then it was essentially forgotten about. A similar thing happened with Jamie’s ex; she goes into the stationary shop Bea works at and purchases a romantic/sexual card. You think ‘ooh will there be some drama with her trying to get Jamie back’. But then it’s pretty much never mentioned again… Too many plot lines pop up and tail off for me to be completely immersed in the flow of the book unfortunately.

Now. The third act breakup. Why? That was so unnecessary. Her reasoning was so unbelievably weak and Bea came off very cold towards her supposed boyfriend that she supposedly loves. Then, magically, they’re back together with Jamie being the one to reach out first? No thank you. If the conflict had been removed entirely, I would have found the last third of the book to be much more enjoyable.

This was an absolutely gorgeous read that was very hard to put down! I adored the characters and can't wait for book 2!

Aaaaaa I loved it omggg, it was so cute and sometimes took turns, that I actually didn't predict and why hadn't I read this sooner?
Can't wait to read the second book, cus omggg the crumbs left at the end??? I'm so excited sjsjjsjsjs

Thank you Netgalley for providing digital advanced copy in exchange for honest review.

This was a cute one. I liked it. Will I read it ever again?! Really do not think so. An average 3 stars read for me

I sadly ended up DNFing this book after having a couple of attempts at going back to me.

The reasons I DNFed are that I found this book quite slow to get going and I just didn't ever want to pick it up. I think if it had been faster paced then I'd have liked it more. I also really disliked the third act issue and honestly I just stopped reading it at that point as I was very frustrated.

I am grateful for the opportunity to read it, but I don't think I'll continue with the series.

Chloe Liese can do no wrong and that's my honest opinion. It's not just that she has a way with words, she also writes unique characters you can relate to, and this one is no exception!

I was the epitome of 'blushing, kicking my feet, giggling' whilst reading this book, it made me feel everything!

Absolutely amazing and so sweet. I adored everything about this gorgeous novel. I adored Jamie and Bea and their dynamic. This features my favorite trope of fake dating, which was executed so well. A new favorite for sure and one that is not to be missed. I can not wait for more in this series. Heartfelt and lovely. Absolutely adore Chloe Liese

Having never read a Chloe Liese book before I can honestly say this won’t be my last,

I loved the duel point of view on this book, they worked really well. I loved the story, although at times it was a little slow.

This was my first Chloe Liese book but it won't be my last. Engaging, funny and sweet with relatable Autistic rep. It's incredible to see myself in romance books such as these.

I absolutely adore Chloes Bergman series so was excited to see what she was going to do with this new series and it didn't disappoint. This is the kind of Enemies to Lovers Fake Dating mash up I love. I really enjoyed the revenge plot and there were some great comical moments between Bea and Jamie. I like that Chloes books are inclusive and always includes neurodiverse characters. They are always different and never repetitive. Two Wrongs Make A Right was a very enjoyable story that I couldn't put down and I'm excited for the next book in the series

Chloe Liese’s books had been on my radar for a while, and I picked up Two Wrongs Make A Right straight away because it’s a series starter and reading the first Wilmot Sisters book felt a lot less daunting than starting on the five Bergman Brothers books.

Loosely based on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, Two Wrongs Make A Right tells Bea and Jamie’s journey. The two clash from the start and are opposing personalities, yet their friends keep trying to set them up. The two decide to fake date, before staging a spectacular breakup, as a means of getting their friends to leave them in peace. However, as they spend more time together and get to know each other, the fake dating starts to feel more and more real.

My favourite thing about this book was the dynamic between the characters and the diverse representation. Jamie has anxiety and OCD, while Bea has autism, so there was a lot of very well written neurodivergent representation in this book.
This was a sweet and spicy romance – I’ll definitely be back for more in this series, and am now rushing out to buy the Bergman Brothers titles, too…

I found this book quite slow to get going and never particularly warmed to Bea and Jamie.

The third act conflict really didn't make any sense to me, it's one of the worst I've read in a long time.

I also really didn't enjoy Bea's sister Juliet as a character and found her quite manipulative. I believe the next book in this series follows her, and it isn't one I'm particularly interested to read.

A retelling of Much Ado About Nothing, Two Wrongs Make a Right is another fantastic read from Chloe Liese.

The dual povs were perfect, I loved both Bea and Jamie's chapters. The romance was fairly slow burn, but the steam was fabulous. The revenge plot was fun, even if it became quickly obvious that neither of the love interests were faking it.

Excited for the Kate / Christopher book next!

Tropes - fake dating / he falls first / opposites attract

Much Ado About Nothing Inspired story, you couldn’t hold me back from reading this and Chloe Liese absolutely smashed it with this. I loved her writing style, how I felt every emotion and the characters were just brilliant, so realistic and compelling. Then you’ve got the fact the male lead suffers from anxiety and the female lead is neuro-divergent , it’s the kind of representation I dream of and reading romcoms with HEA’s for everyone in society, it’s just getting better in books all the time (even when life feels quite the reverse) I just think this was simply wonderful and I give it 10 stars out of 5

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

this was just so good! i love jamie and bea both as individual characters and as a pairing. they complement each other so well and chloe liese outdid herself with this one!

read if you like fake dating, opposites attract, slight enemies to friends to lovers <3

i received this arc in exchange for an honest review

This books was amazing, I loved the way that it was written and the characters were incredible.
I always love how Chloe Liese writes about topics that aren’t talked about enough. She writes her novels to exhibit such inclusivity.
And the characters were amazingly written, I really felt as if I could feel what the Garda terms were feeling.
100% recommend

The perfect romcom absolutely loved this book - Bea and Jamie's voices were incredible, and the world building was great (who among us hasn't met a Jean-Claude?). I thought that the conflict was very believable, and loved how things came back together - and I adored the fake dating trope and where they went with it.

As long as Chloe Liese keeps writing, I'll keep reading her books. After five Bergman Brothers books, I was a little surprised to see that her next release was the start of another series. But now that I've finished this one, I'm just so so happy that we're getting two more Bergman books AND more Wilmot Sisters. I feel like the rest of this series will also be Shakespeare reimaginings and I can't wait to see which one Liese will tackle next.

As for this one, it's pretty simple. Bea and Jamie hate each other on sight, yet their friends keep setting them up on little meet cutes and blind dates. Finally fed up with their entire social circle conspiring against them, Bea and Jamie come up with the brilliant plan to fake date, be the most obnoxious couple they can be, and then have a spectacular breakup so they can finally go back to hating each other in peace. Except they quickly realise that they're attracted to each other. And the more time they spend truly getting to know each other, the more their fake dating starts to feel like the real deal.

It's a true Chloe Liese book, so that means well-layered characters and excellent representation. Bea has autism, Jamie has anxiety and OCD, and outside of the neurodiversity you also have a cast that's scattered all across the rainbow. The romance is incredibly sweet, the sex scenes are top notch quality, and because of the double POV we know pretty much from the start that Jamie is absolutely head-over-heels for Bea about five minutes after meeting her and would gladly perish between her thighs. We love a man who falls first.

A few things did feel a little rushed, and I'm still not entirely sure how exactly their revenge plan was meant to work, but in the end none of that really matters. This was a delightful romance, very sweet and very spicy. Truly a must-read for any romance fan!
