Even though Jamie and Bea are total opposites, their friends believe that they would make a perfect match and proceed to trick Jamie and Bea into going on a date. Once Jamie and Bea realize that they’ve been duped, they hatch a plan to get revenge on their meddling friends and finally put an end to their friends’ matchmaking ways…they’ll fake date, pretend to fall in love, and then have a horrible break-up. While pretending to be madly in love, Jamie and Bea inevitably grow closer and start to wonder if their friends’ matchmaking wasn’t so off-base after all. But things get complicated after Bea perceives trouble in her twin sister’s whirlwind romance with Jamie’s roommate. Two Wrongs Make a Right is a contemporary retelling of Much Ado About Nothing that invokes the matchmaking, fake dating, and opposites attract tropes. It is best suited for lovers of rom coms like the Bergman Brothers series by Chloe Liese, The Kiss Quotient trilogy by Helen Hoang, The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon, the All-Access books by Evie Mitchell, Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake by Mazey Eddings, and Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood. It is important to note a trigger warning: presence of emotionally abusive/ psychologically manipulative relationships. Two Wrongs Make a Right deals with themes like appearance versus reality, disability (autism), mental health (anxiety), communication, love and heartbreak, fear of change, loneliness and isolation, family drama, and fate versus free will. The moral of this story is that everyone deserves their own happily ever after.
I absolutely loved this book and think it’s going to remain one of my favourite romances of 2022. I adored Jamie and Bea’s slow burn romance; I enjoyed watching them become friends and then start to develop deeper feelings for each other whilst carrying out their fake dating revenge plan. Furthermore, I loved how Jamie and Bea were so considerate of each other’s feelings and ultimately helped each other to overcome old heartbreaks and insecurities. Even though the novel was a slow burn, I still found that there were lots of steamy and sweet moments throughout the novel (like a “fake” paint night date and a surprise trip to the tattoo parlour). I really connected to both main characters and found their various struggles to be very realistic and relatable (e.g., loneliness, fear of heartbreak or rejection, anxiety, sensory processing issues, etc.). Furthermore, I thought that Jamie was totally swoon-worthy! In addition to being a pediatrician, he speaks French, he is a proud cat owner, and he takes it upon himself to befriend Bea’s beloved pet “therapy hedgehog”. There really wasn’t much about this book that I disliked or would have changed…I would have loved to see Bea’s sisters’ happily ever afters but I’m glad that Liese left these storylines open for potential sequels/ companion novels! Overall, Two Wrongs Make a Right was a fun and sweet rom com with realistic anxiety and autism representation. It definitely exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend adding it to your TBR list immediately! Links:
