ARC review! Two Wrongs Make a Right by Chloe Liese

Pub Date: November 22, 2022

Y’all Chloe Liese has done it again. THIS BOOK. We’ve got opposites attract, fake dating, grumpy/sunshine, neurodivergent MCs (autism and anxiety), LGBTQIA+ rep and just heaps and heaps of swoon. Best of all - an MMC who goes to therapy and openly talks about it!! As you know, there is nothing sluttier a man can do than go to therapy.

To top it all off, it’s super funny and when the steam hits it HITS. Jamie is a stern brunch daddy with an excellent *bedside* manner. 😏

I CANNOT get this main couple out of my mind. Allow me to introduce them:

James Benedick Westerberg aka West aka Jamie aka Jame - pediatrician, cat dad, cook, listener and absolute stern brunch daddy for the GODS. A *highly* acceptable blonde man

Beatrice Adelaide Wilmot aka Bea aka BeeBee - e r o t i c artist and creator of Prurient Paper - a line of stationery featuring hidden seggsy pictures, hedgehog mom, twin to Juliet, force of chaos and mega-klutz. A highly relatable heroine.

Jamie and Bea’s friends basically badger them into several failed meet-cutes for the first 15% of this story, and after figuring out they’ve been part of a ruse to get them to date, the couple sets out on a plan to get revenge by pretending to date and break up in a highly dramatic fashion. Of course, these adorable idiots totally fall in love with each other instead. 🥰

This book is Chloe at her finest. It’s soft and sweet and shows the reader so many kinds of family and friend relationships. You simply cannot help but fall for Bea and Jamie and you can’t help but root for them. The thing I love the most about Chloe’s books is that I always feel safe reading them. I know she’s going to show me something heartbreaking from time to time but she will ALWAYS put me back together in the most beautiful way. 🥹 

Chloe puts a content note in the beginning of her books so make sure you check that out! This one has a couple of side plots involving abusive family and intimate relationships.

Thank you to @netgalley and @berkley and especially @chloeliese for the advanced reader copy!!

👍🏻RECOMMENDED. This is Chloe at her absolute best. Funny, swoony, sweet, heartfelt and steamy - just a delight of a book! If you like the Bergmans, Bromance Book Club, or the Brown Sisters, you will love this!
