Two Wrongs Make a Right
by Chloe Liese
Two Wrongs Make a Right is my first foray into a Chloe Liese book and is from what I've read inspired by Much Ado About Nothing, which is my favourite Shakespeare, so I was very excited, and I was not disappointed. The two leads are Jamie - a paediatrician, and Bea - an erotic artist, who are 'set up' by Bea's sister and Jamie's best friend, they decide to take their revenge by fake dating, and the plot takes off from there.
There is autistic representation through Bea and anxiety through Jamie; however, I won't be commenting on the accuracy or faithfulness of the representations; as someone who is not neurodiverse nor suffers from anxiety, it is not my place.
The dual POV was so great; it was lovely to see them both falling in love and coming to the realisation that 'enemies' had indeed become 'lovers'. Jamie is a wonder. The scene where he made soup for her because she doesn't like the texture of vegetables and cared for her during her period was adorable. It's also, in a way, grumpy x sunshine; Jamie is put-together, always ironed, not a hair out of place, and Bea is open, tattooed and strong.
Whilst it was good, I couldn't give it five stars because of the third act; it wasn't needed and didn't really add anything, like the story would have ended strong without it... The whole thing gave me miscommunication vibes, and it lost me at that point, like yes, great HEA, but also no.
Thank you to Little Brown, Piatkus and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
