Before I start I want to say I have read many of Chloe Liese’s books before and enjoyed them immensely, however sadly this one did not do it for me. The whole fake dating set up to me felt to ‘tropey’ and forced as a whole and their first time meeting they instantly dislike each other felt forced and is if there was no real reason or substance to it.

Maybe it’s because I am not a millennial but it felt too aimed towards millennials for me to enjoy it and even try to relate to it, with finding Beatrice to be described too often as “not like other girls”. I felt that there was no real build up between them going from fake dating to real dating it just felt rushed and forced and the connection I felt between them dissipated once they admitted their feelings.

Despite these aspects I could’ve enjoyed the book at least somewhat, but then we reached the dreaded third act break up. It was just stupid in my opinion and didn’t make sense, with these characters who for most of the book had been communicating very well to just suddenly… not. Something I normally enjoy in Chloe’s books is the fact that her characters communicate well, however this just felt forced and out of character and annoyed me so much I just wanted the book to finally be over by that point.

This one wasn’t for me, but it’s not going to stop me from reading more of Liese’s work in the future!

I’ve recently discovered Chloe Liese’s books and, of course!, I immediately became a fan of her writing and the fact that Chloe beautifully creates neurodivergent characters.

I really liked this book, loved BeeBee and Jamie, and how they get to know and fall in love with each other. Didn’t particularly like the last conflict though. I am already looking forward to following Kate’s adventures. :)

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for approving my request to read this book.

Two Wongs Make A Right, from Chloe Liese was a simply brilliant romance. It’s a retelling of Shakespeare’s comedy Much Ado About Nothing, though you need not to have read this to enjoy this gem of a romance. This is a book that is so full of warmth, humour, swoony romance and most significantly amazing neurodiverse representation.

Two Wrongs Make a Right is the story of Bea and Jamie, two people who have nothing in common save for their disastrous not so cute meet. Well that, and they both understand they couldn’t be more wrong for each other. Yet when the people closest to them try to play cupid and push them unknowingly together, they realise they have something new in common - the desire for revenge. They’ll fake date to keep the meddlers at bay and then spectacularly break up to prove their point. But what happens when their fake dating suddenly starts to feel very real, and when they come to realise two wrongs maybe can make a right?

Before starting Two Wrongs it is most definitely worth reading Liese’s author’s note at the beginning. Here she gives her readers content warnings, of which there are some significant topics being dealt with, but also explains how she wanted to feature characters who deserve more prominent representation in mainstream romance. Liese sets out to affirm her belief that each and everyone one of us is worthy and capable of our own HEA, should we wish for it.

Bea is many things, she’s funny, artistic, a proud individual in her tastes and passions, and she also happens to be autistic. Jamie is tall, loves reading and chess, and is a paediatrician; he also has anxiety and compulsions. What is so special about Bea and Jamie, and indeed the way Liese handles their neurodivergences, is that though a significant part of their lives, it is not their defining feature. More so neither one of them tries to change the other and instead holds space for them and helps support them with what they need.

In terms of the romance this is a wonderful opposites attract, enemies to lovers with fake dating - what more could you want! The tension is excellent throughout and with the duel POV chapters we get to see the mutual pining and fears of reciprocation as Bea and Jamie’s relationship evolves from fake to very real. The build up is excellent and the pay off 🔥

Overall this is an excellent romance, with great representation that I’d highly recommend.

This is my first ever read by this author, she is now a go to author from now on!

To say I loved this book is an understatement. It hooked me from the very beginning. I love the immediate chemistry between the two MCs.

This book has some serious spice 👌 😍 and I'm here for it!!

The representation of autism and how everyone is different is a special place close to my heart as I work with people who are on the spectrum. It gives a very good insight into how those with the disorder live their life.

This book is deffo one of my faves this year!

I loved this book! The fake dating trope is superior. Bea and Jamie are so well written and relatable. The pacing was perfect in this book and the spice was amazing!

i normally enjoy a fake dating trope and the comedy and drama that this kind of romance can bring. unfortunately these character felt a little forced and didnt really have any chemistry. The conversations between these two felt very unrealistic at time and whilst a personal preference i admit, I really don't hold much stock when astrology is brought in to anyone beliefs for romance. The concept of being more inclusive and having characters with neurodivergence and mental health needs is certainly admirable and realistic for the real world but I am not sure that it needed to be at the forefront of every conversation or thought for these two. I felt like 'understanding' was being pushed upon me. I wanted to enjoy then fun banter and sexual tension between these two but their stilted conversations and high intensity all inclusive language just interrupted the flow.

This is my first Chloe Liese book and certainly not my last, what a fantastic contemporary romance read. I was immediately in love with both Bea and Jamie and super invested in their enemies-lovers / fake dating storyline.

I saw so much of myself in both of the main characters which really helped me connect and added to the reading experience. And a tattooed woman on the cover? Sign. Me. Up.

Of course this is at least partly a fluffy romance but don’t be fooled… the steam is REAL *fans self*. The author also doesn’t shy away from some pretty serious topics like problem relationships and psychological abuse, so check the trigger warnings. For me, it gave real depth and heart to the story that can sometimes be missing from a romance book.

Do not miss this one. I was lucky enough to receive an ebook from the publisher in and NetGalley in exchanged for my honest review, but will be buying a copy for my shelves ASAP.

This was one of my top 3 reads of the year. Bea and Jamie are so well written and I loved the inclusive of things like autism and anxiety to really make these characters real and well rounded. The pacing is fantastic, the sex scenes are so sex positive and well written and the ending was perfection. My only negative would be the conflict towards the end felt forced and unnecessary, but didn't detract from it being a solid 5 star read. Can't wait to read more from Chloe Liese

I loved this book! Not only was it a cute romance but it also had great representation, and I especially loved the autism rep which felt very relatable to me.

I really enjoyed the developing of Bea and Jamie's relationship, from enemies to fake dating to friends and then lovers - the progression of it was lovely to read and felt realistic as they really started to get to know each other.

Bea and Jamie are opposite in pretty much every way and they each have their own quirks but I really liked that they both accepted the other for who they were, and didn't try to change the other, despite being so different.

My only issue was the conflict and miscommunication towards the end. It felt unnecessary and like it was just thrown in to add some drama that wasn't really needed, and then the ending felt rushed because of it. Apart from that, though, I absolutely loved the book and will definitely be reading more by Chloe Liese.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this eARC of 'Two Wrongs Make a Right' by Chloe Liese.

'Two Wrongs Make a Right' is one of those books you pick up truly based on the cover - two hot people, what more could you want? But you stay for the romance and the whirlwind story.

Dubbed as a reimaging of Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing', Bea and Jamie were beautiful protagonists and the dual perspective shown through their points of view was intriguing for me. The various storylines, characters and tropes made this book perfect. There was some sexual content in scenes multiple times but they weren't too uncomfortable so I felt at ease.

I am a big Chloe Liese fan, and this book is yet another hit for me. Her autism rep books will always be my favourites as an autistic reader as her characters are always so good! This may have even beaten With You Forever as my favourite of her novels.

My favourite part of this book is that I think this is the most realistic relationship I have ever read in a book, from how they first interacted, to their dates to their sex scenes. There was no perfection, things weren't magically easy and neat and tidy. Bea and Jamie had to get to know each other, had awkward private moments and fell in love with each others quirks. There was no "getting over" each other being neurodivergent, just embracing and supporting each other. It was really refreshing to see, and was honestly the first time I have ever felt like I saw myself and parts of my relationship reflected in a book.

Bea and Jamie were amazing characters with great depth, insecurities and growth. They were complete opposites in the best way possible, and I think them coming together through fake dating was the perfect way to tell their story. Bea was so funny and relatable for me, and Jamie was just so sweet and needed a hug honestly. I do think some of Jamie's story was neglected in favour of Bea's, but overall I think the book is very much about their romance and not their personal growth. I wish we saw more of Bea learning to love after being in an abusive relationship, and more about Jamie dealing with his toxic family.

I’ve really enjoyed Chloe Liese books in the past, so was super excited when I saw this was an upcoming release. Unfortunately, this one didn’t do it for me.

Bea and Jamie are tricked into a blind date by mutual friends, and to get them back, they decide to fake being in a relationship. I really appreciated how inclusive the characters were (reps include neurodivergence, bisexuality, anxiety), but I just found the dialogue super forced and I couldn’t connect with the characters.

I found some of the side plot really chaotic and rushed, it just didn’t seem to fit with the rest of the story. I was at a solid 3 star throughout most of it, but in the end, some major miscommunication/rash decisions between the MCs happen, and it lost me entirely. It didn’t seem realistic at all and felt like a device to create conflict for conflict’s sake.

However, this book has had rave early reviews and others have loved it, so this could totally just be on me. I will definitely read Chloe Liese again in the future, but not every book is made for every person and that’s okay!

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

I absolutely adored Bea, it was amazing to see Autism being portrayed as something good, something to be embraced. Bea and Jamie were a perfect coupling and I longed for them to get together.

Two Wrongs Make a Right was a steamy romantic read and I loved every minute of it.

Such a unique book, I loved the plot and oh my god the characters we're so amazing!! I definitely will be recommending it!!

Two Wrongs Make a Right was a wonderful and entertaining fake relationship romance. I really enjoyed Beatrice and Jamie. As individuals but also as a couple. What Chloe Liese is so good at is making the characters relatable and she does that by drawing on her own experiences. Beatrice is on the spectrum and Jamie is suffering from anxiety. Liese handles these topics with care and authenticity.

The story was so good. I especially enjoyed how Beatrice and Jamie slowly got to know one another on a deeper level. The romance was amazing thanks to the swoon worthy Jamie. A tidy pediatrician with so much heart and consideration. He thought of Beatrice and how certain things would make her more at ease and comfortable. She was a fabulous heroine as well. Creative and honest. These two gave me the old historical romance feel.

My only issue was the conflict toward the end. I felt it was unnecessary and an easy way to drive the couple apart. Still this was a tiny thing and didn’t affect my overall experience. This story was all romance and I definitely recommend it.

*I received an arc from Little, Brown Book Group UK PR.*

Actual rating: 4.5 stars

Very enjoyable and easy to read, I flew through it pretty quickly! Loved the characters, all of them had depth. I am a sucker for dual POV stories and this one was a great balance of Bea and Jamie, exploring their past and present with the people around them. Touched on some tough subjects but all fit well into the story and made it feel even more real.
Very excited to read future books in this series and more books by this author.

I’ve read every book Chloe Liese has written, so I’ve been eagerly awaiting the arrival of her first traditionally published novel, Two Wrongs Make a Right.

The gist of my review? I would sign my life over to have these characters and this book live in my head rent free for the remainder of my days. I loved every single second.

I found Bea and Jamie to both be really relatable characters and I love the contrast between their personalities and how they match together.

If I could give you anything to explain Chloe Liese’s books I would say this:
✨Great representation
✨Adorable romances
✨Sensational steam

✨ BOOK REVIEW ✨

Two Wrongs Make A Right - Chloe Liese
🌟🌟🌟

LIKES
☀️ CORNELIUS 🦔
☀️ Spicy scenes full of consent and communication.
☀️ Distinct and well developed characters.
☀️ A broad range of representation covered with care and respect - from anxiety to autism.
☀️ A steady pace that never left me bored or eager to speed through it.
☀️ Lots of sweet moments, especially the soup and the kitties 🤍

DISLIKES
🌙 The miscommunication was a little too much for me, as was the constant lusting over extremely small physical actions.
🌙 As a slow burn girl, I wish they’d spent more time together before the L bomb was dropped.
🌙 The subplot with Jules appeared out of nowhere, and read like it was put in at the last minute.
🌙 While I enjoy the fake dating trope, it kind of fizzled into nothing and never really came to a head with the people they were trying to convince?

While this didn’t quite have the Bergman Brother sparkle for me, Chloe is always a go to for a solid romance read!

I was enticed by a Much Ado About Nothing retelling with neurodiverse characters, but this one wasn't for me. The banter between the two characters was great in the beginning but became far too saccharine for me, and it was just plain cheesy towards the end. The smut was also very much not for me, but it seems others enjoyed this book overall so if you're a prior fan of the author I'm sure it'll be good for you. And good to have neurodiverse romance in the world.

I can’t believe how good this book is. Like, I’d seen it floating around on Instagram, etc. and for some reason I didn’t expect much from it, I went into it a bit meh to be honest and ended being blown away by it. It’s fake dating perfection. And all the secondary characters were amazing, so I was delighted when I finished and realised that it looks like Bea’s sisters will get their own stories 🥰 It’s definitely one of my favourite books of the year.
