 •Chloe Liese really writes the most emotionally intelligent conversations in romance. Toxicity who? Where? Not here!!!! 
•Also Liese is such a reliable writer for steamy sex scenes. Every single time, I am 🥵 
•fake dating REMAINS a superior trope. Absolutely unfeasible in real life but in fiction just hits every! single! time!! 
•BUT let’s be completely for real… this is not a Much Ado About Nothing retelling. Like I get the characters are named Beatrice and Benedick (well sort of) but that’s about it 🌝 I feel a little bamboozled by this marketing and really wish the book could’ve just stood on it’s own two feet because I would’ve liked it a lot more without the comparison to my favorite Shakespeare play (Beatrice and Benedick cannot meet for the first time in a Much Ado retelling, it literally defeats the purpose of WHY they are set up, I will die on this hill!!!!!!!!) 
•thank you Berkley Pub and NetGalley for the eARC!!
