I bloody loved this book, it might have overtaken Love hypothesis as my favourite!

Bea and Jamie are completely opposite, but for some reason there friends keep trying to get them together. This book has everything I love in a book fake dating, opposite attract and dual POV. This book has amazing representation with autism & anxiety, which I believe will make people feel seen.

The preview of the next book "Better hate than never" excited me about the future of this series!

This book made me laugh and cry. This is my first Chloe Liese book but it will not be my last, This book has got her a space on my growing auto-buy author.

I am such a huge fan of Chloe Liese so I was really excited about this, and it did not disappoint! Bea and Jamie were so funny, I really enjoyed their dynamic and had a such a good time reading this.

The Autism/ Anxiety rep in this was top notch, I felt very seen reading it.

The only slight thing is the tattoo/karaoke night felt pretty random and out of place, but this was still and amazing book

I'm a relatively new reader of Chloe Liese, having only read the first in her Bergman brothers series (and loved it), when I heard there was a new book coming out I had to read it!

I love the representation in "Two Wrongs Make a Right" - Bea is a pansexual erotic artist with autism while Jamie is a pediatrician who struggling with anxiety, and Chloe did a great job of realistically showing how they navigated eachothers communication barriers.

The tension between Bea and Jamie and the build up to their inevitable relationship had me swooning, although I couldn't give it 5 stars as I was disappointed with the third act break up which came as soon as they'd expressed their feelings for eachother.

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Honestly, I’ll read whatever @chloe_liese releases at this point because my goodness is she amazing.

Two wrongs make a right is a romance between Bea, an autistic erotic artist with a meddling twin sister and Jamie, an anxious pediatrician with a stuck-up family. From the get-go their friends meddle and try to get them together. For revenge, they start fake dating. Look, as readers we all know that was a terrible revenge plan but that doesn’t stop us from absolutely swooning and falling in love with them.

Also, I’m already on board for what Chloe will do for Kate and Juliet 💕

Quote: “if this is wrong, I will live long and happily never being right”

Chloe starts off her book with “this story features characters with human realities who I believe deserve to be seen more prominently in romance through positive, authentic representation” and my god, I love her ❤️

Also, on that cover art, Jamie looks like Harry styles and I will take no comments on that but I’m hooked.

I was given an e-ARC by the publisher through netgalley, in exchange of an honest review.

DO NOT SWIPE IF YOU WANT TO SEE SPOILERS / annotations

Synopsis: 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.

Themes:
• good communication
• fast pace
• dual POV
• romcom vibes
• puns

🩵 this was my first book by Chloe Liese, and it was gorgeous. Why haven't I read more of her books sooner? I loved Bea and Jamie story. I love the fact that they were so different, but they worked. I enjoyed the dialogue, and honestly, the GOOD COMMUNICATION was refreshing. It made me feel all cosy, warm, and happy. The way they understand each other quirks (autism and anxiety) was so sweet. The spicey scenes and the funny moments were so well written- it was the perfect balance. Chloe Liese's writing was a delight and put all my current reads on hold, and I flew through this book.

I highly recommend it.
Thank you so much Netgalley / Little Brown Books for an ARC for an honest review

Thank you to Little Brown/Piatkus for the Netgalley e-ARC! This was my first Chloe Liese book and I really enjoyed it, will definitely read her backlist titles soon.
Two Wrongs Make a Right is a modern take on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing and follows Bea Wilmot an artist and Jamie Westenberg a paediatrician. Their first encounter doesn’t go so well and it appears that the two have nothing in common with each other. Bea is neurodivergent but tackles stereotypes with her super outgoing and energetic personality, whilst Jamie is quite shy and reserved due to his anxiety which gives outsiders the impression that he is a little stuck up.
Their close friends believe that they are perfect for one another and start to meddle in their relationship by setting them up on a blind date. The two agree to fake date to appease their friends whilst also planning an epic break up as part of their revenge, but what Bea and Jamie didn’t expect was to actually fall for one another, could it be that opposites do attract?
As the two continue their fake relationship they learn so much more about one another and realise that despite some of their differences they actually work well together. This book is equal parts funny, sad and sweet. Pretty much all of scenes between Jamie and Bea were so cute, at one point I was like who are you trying to fool with the fake dating, JUST ADMIT YOU LOVE EACH OTHER!
Jamie is definitely going up high on the book boyfriend list, firstly this man rescues old cats that’s a 10 right there, he’s a bookish guy and talks dirty in French and he caters to Bea’s needs so early on into their fake relationship. Please God do men like this exist IRL??
Anyway I did knock off a star as it was a little too insta-lovey for me but again this is a re-telling of a Shakespearian novel which in itself was insta-love I guess, this book really didn’t need the third act break up either. Also there wasn’t an epilogue scene however their friend Christopher and Bea’s sister Kate are getting their own book which I’m super excited for and I hope to see Bea and Jamie make an appearance.

BOOK REVIEW: Two Wrongs Make A Right by @chloe_liese

5 Stars

I was so excited for this book as I love Chloe Liese's Bergman Brothers series so couldn't wait to read more from her. This was just perfect from start to finish and I read it in a day as I just could not put it down!

Two Wrongs Make A Right is a contemporary romance retelling of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. It is based around erotic artist Bea and Pediatric doctor Jamie. What starts off as enemies becomes fake dating and then finally a HEA.
I absolutely adored these characters. Bea is such a wonderful lead female. She is autistic and quirky and I just loved her brilliant humour and big heart. Jamie is an absolute cinnamon bun hottie who is rather straight laced and suffers from social anxiety. The romance is to die for! It is realistic and has lovely soft moments as well as hot sex scenes. I loved how they slowly got to know each other and that their growth was on page and we saw it through great dialogue. Seeing them both open up after previous bad relationships was wonderful.
The side characters were epic and I hope we have more books for each of Bea's sisters!

Chloe Liese is a brilliant author and this story was a joy to read. It was inclusive and had lots of things that are usually left out in romance books like lube and laughter during sex and neurodivergence. As someone that suffers from chronic illness and anxiety, I love how inclusive her books are.

Overall a perfect read that I could not recommend more. It was a beautiful and sexy read and I really hope for more of these books to come!

Please note that I was #gifted this ebook in exchange for an honest review.

Brilliant all round! I absolutely adored Bee and Jamie. I loved the neurodiverse rep - anxiety and autism and thought this was done in a sensitive way where it really added to and was intrinsic to the storyline. This book made me so happy and I am especially excited to see more from the Wilmot sisters and Christopher!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

4.25⭐️

I loved the Bergman Brothers books so I was desperate to get my hands on this one and UGH! I just love reading neurodivergent characters written neurodivergent authors, treated with care and understanding by their love interests and the people around them (I wish we were all so lucky). Details I loved about this particularly was the author mentioning Bea's sensory issues and talking about them so frankly! I never thought I would read about food aversions in a romance book - her embarrassment about having to explain her trouble eating certain foods to Jamie was so raw and real, and something I identified with so strongly but is NEVER spoken about in media. It was so nice to see Jamie treating her with so much care about the things she struggled with, and I loved reading it and hope that we all could find someone who does that for us.

I loved the characters individually and together. It felt like an authentic opposites attract relationship, and they were really fun together. There was a really fun fake relationship that was barely fake from the beginning, there was not a hint of doubt from either character about their attractions to one another so I was pleased with how quickly they gave up the act and caved into something real - and that the romantic story didn’t end there! There was still plenty of romantic and sexual build up that was just wonderful.

I didn’t love the third act break up - never really a fan of that trope, just a personal preference. It was relatively short lived and I just didn’t really feel it added much, to be honest. It felt a little pointless. Their reunion was very sweet though.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book - devoured it in a day! Just a really fun, sweet romance. Very excited by the teaser into (Bea's sister Kate’s) story too, can’t wait to read more!

Neuro-divergent Much ado retelling? Hell yes.

This was such a romantic romance. For some, that may seem like a given, but it definitely isn't. The relationship between Jamie and Bea is so gentle and sweet, and gives all the fluffy feelings. Which honestly really surprised me given it is a sort of enemies to lovers plot, but Chloe Liese made it work.

The characters were neuro-divergent, as Chloe Liese is known for, and this is handled as well as it always is. And the secondary characters were 10/10. I think this is a really good book to start with if you want to give this author a go!

Thanks to Chloe Liese, Little Brown Book Group and Net Galley for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

I am floored by this book - I wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I did! This was my first Chloe Liese novel and i will definitely be working through their backlist. The premise of the story is so fun, in that Bea and Jamie are fake dating for revenge. After a meet-disaster, Bea and Jamie are happy to never see each other again, until their interfering mutual friends make that impossible. I loved the dynamic between our main characters - the seemingly prim and proper Jamie and the clumsy, funny Bea. I loved that we got Jamie’s POV so we knew that he wasn’t purposefully rude to Bea, but that he has anxiety and was struggling in the social situation. There is really great rep in this book, with Jamie’s anxiety and Bea, who is autistic and pansexual. I’m rubbish at reviews, i’m sorry, but if you’re like me and you love a soft boy who gets flustered and tongue tied and BLUSHES cause of his girl and a hilarious, strong, interesting girl who is constantly teasing him, and this adorable chemistry they have and the incredible communication between them, then you might love this as much as I do. One of my fave books of the year, hands down!!!!!!

4.5 stars
This book had me hooked!
Bea and Jamie are hilarious, have chemistry off the charts and are both just super loveable.
It has great representation of mental health and neurodiversity.
If you love the fake dating trope with well written spice, this book is definitely for you 🤍
Thankyou Little, Brown Book Group and NetGalley for this ARC

To no-one's surprise, I absolutely loved this. Jamie and Bea's story gave me allll the feels. The way their relationship grew felt so natural, and I loved how they slowly let down their barriers and were truly themselves with each other.

I saw this was a Much Ado About Nothing inspired book but my only knowledge of the story was one viewing of the Kenneth Branagh/Emma Thompson version in an English class 15 years ago. The story follows Bea and Jamie; after a disastrous first meeting, her sister and his roommate/family friend set them up with hidden identities. To get back at them they decide to fake date with the intention of a big break up to get them to stop interfering in their love lives.
The growing tension between Jamie and Bea was sensational and I fell in love with them as a couple and individually. Jamie is so sweet that I just want to squeeze him and Bea is unapologetically herself and together they allow each other to be vulnerable and open, they’re able to be together without filtering themselves. I loved Jamie’s character growth as Bea encourages him to stand up for himself, to live life the way he wants to. All in all, I just love the way they love and motivate each other. The third act conflict came so late I’d begun to convince myself that it was all going to be external conflict, but it was mercifully short.
I genuinely loved this so much, my first book by Chloe Liese but I will for sure be reading other books by her and I can’t wait for the other books in this series.

Will be posted to Amazon.co.uk on publication date

Puuuuuurfection! Such incredible profiles for so many types of wonderful people throughout this story. Truly a work of art.

I especially loved Bea's strength and determination and how James celebrated everything about her.

Ready and waiting for the next instalment with Jules and her journey please and thank you!

“You know it’s okay, right? For someone to see the best in you. For them to like the things you’re way too hard on yourself for.”

Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book - Bea and Jamie have my heart, and the revenge-turned-romance made for an exciting story whilst fitting into the fake dating trope so well.

In particular, I loved the autism representation. Bea was not defined by her diagnosis, but it also wasn’t ignored. It highlighted both the beautiful and the difficulties that come with being on the spectrum without taking over the plot.

Also, can we talk about the chess puns? Incredible.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book, I just wished the ending was slightly more drawn out and developed… however I am looking forward to Kate’s book now!

Bea and Jamie are as opposites as two people can get. He is always serious and never unraveled while she is more of a free spirit and always tripping and falling.

The one thing they we have in common is their friends, Bea's twin sister is dating Jamie's roommate and as any older sister she knows best, so she makes it her mission to show them how perfect they are for each other. Her plan backfires when Bea and Jamie figure out the set up but they also want to get back at them.

Faking dating each other only to have their friends be emotionally involved in their relationship so that they can break up, makes perfect sense.

For their plan to succeed they organize instagramable friendly dates to have proof about their romance, but each date only brings them closer, they see that even though their differences they fit perfectly together.

This was a truly wonderful story, I liked the meddling friends and each date was better than the last.

Bea and Jamei accepted each other so easily and they made space for the other in their lives. I am in awe of their romance and of their journey from the very first interaction up until the last page.

Without wanting to give anything away I will just say that I am very excited to read the rest books of this series!


* I received an ARC and this is my honest opinion.

4.8 stars ⭐️
This was honestly sooo good!!!!
I have only read 2 other books by Chloe Liese and they were both 4 stars
She is honestly such an incredible writer and i can’t wait to read more of her books
I loved this book!!!
The start took me a little bit to get stuck into but after that i couldn’t put it down, which is probably the only reason that this doesn’t have 5 stars
I loved Jamie and Bea so much and their dynamic was so fun to read
I didn’t really like how Juliet’s story was kind of copying Bea’s past relationship, i feel like it may have been as impactful even if it didn’t have that but it was still good
Definitely read this book!!!

Utterly Delightful, Heartfelt & Swoony.

What you can expect:
- Great neurodivergence and mental health rep
- Enemies to Lovers
- Fake Dating
- Opposite Attract
- The cutest hedgehog and the grumpiest elderly cats
- Amazing and inclusive cast of secondary characters

Bea is a pansexual erotic artist and creator, twin to Julie, mom of the cutest hedgehog on Earth, extremely clumsy and neurodivergent.
Jamie is a pediatrician, dad to two grumpy elderly cats, suffers from anxiety and is a stern brunch daddy at heart (IYKYK).

Bea and Jamie are definitely not looking for a relationship and they are seemingly happy being single. In the beginning, due to unfortunately circumstances, they cannot stand each other, despite being undoubtedly attracted to each other. However, they find themselves being continuously set up by their group of meddling friends and family. When they realize what it's happening, they decide to pretend to date for a while and then dramatically break up to teach their meddling friends a lesson. But, of course, it backfires and they catch feelings. It turns out, their friends were right and they actually are perfect for each other.

Two Wrongs Make a Right is such a refreshing and cozy romance.
There are no mind-games, just honesty and great communication, even when it's embarassing.
The third act break-up is thankfully shortlived and you get the sweetest happily ever after in history.
The chemistry is off the charts from the start and the slow burn is definitely well rewarded. Gosh, those sex scenes are *chef's kiss*. Consent and communication (and lube *wink wink*) make them a thousand times hotter.
Also, Jamie is possibly one the best book-boyfriend known to mankind. Thoughtful, considerate of Bea's feelings and needs. He even prepares 3 batches of vegetables soup, each blended up to a different texture level for Bea, who cannot handle most vegetables due to her sensory issues. I mean, seriously?!? Where do I need to sign up to get a Jamie myself?

The romance has a steady pace and the writing is so immersive that I read this in one sitting. Chloe Liese is honestly so talented. She has the ability to grab your attention from page one, getting you invested in the characters and the story, and does not relent until the last page.

This book was a five-stars gem and a must read if you love romance novels. I already cannot wait for Kate's and Julie's story!!


***Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced reader copy of Two Wrongs Make a Right in exchange for a honest review***

I know many people will absolutely love this but I personally just didn't find the motivation to finish this. I didn't connect to the characters very much and I lost interest in the general story. I feel that the first meeting of the protagonists and dislike for one another was a little forced. I didn't feel the chemistry either and I wasn't even sure why they were panting after one another.

I also think I might not be in the demographic this is aimed towards, particularly with all the star sign stuff that was brought up constantly.

It's really not for me but I'd still recommend it to younger readers like millennials.
