Abigail Meyer and Freya Jonsson canβt stand one another.
But could their severe hatred be masking something else entirely?β¨β¨From the moment they locked eyes in high school, Abby and Freya have been at each otherβs throats. Fifteen years later, when Abby and Freya cross paths again, their old rivalry doesnβt take more than a few minutes to begin anew.β¨β¨And now Naomi, Abbyβs best friend, is falling for Freyaβs producer and close pal, Will. Both women are thrilled to see their friends in a happy relationship β except they are now only a few degrees of separation from the person they claim to despise β¦ and they canβt seem to avoid seeing one another.β¨β¨Keep This Off The Record is a fun and fresh LGBTQIA+ story about the freedom to be who you are, even if that means falling for the person you hate.

I adore retelling/adaptations/reimaginings so when I heard this was an adaption of Much Ado About Nothing, one of the most fun Shakespeare plays, I was intrigued. Add to that an enemies to lovers β , sapphic β story with Jewish and non-binary rep as well! β β β
I really enjoyed the banter and wittiness. The found family is really the heart of this story. The friendship and the side characters were quite funny.
There is some sexting and closed door with mentions of sex. Mild levels of spice.
