Opposites become allies to fool their matchmaking friends in this swoony reimagining of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, Much Ado About Nothing. Jamie Westenberg and Bea Wilmot have nothing in common except a meet-disaster and the mutual understanding that they couldn't be more wrong for each other. But when the people closest to them play Cupid and trick them into going on a date, Jamie and Bea realize they have something else in common after all—an undeniable need for revenge. Soon their plan is in place: Fake date obnoxiously and convince the meddlers they’re madly in love. Then, break up spectacularly and dash everyone's hopes, putting an end to the matchmaking madness once and for all. To convince everyone that they’ve fallen for each other, Jamie and Bea will have to nail the performance of their lives. But as their final act nears and playing lovers becomes easier than not, they begin to wonder: What if Cupid’s arrow wasn’t so off the mark? And what if two wrongs do make a right?

This book started strong, but by the end struggled to hit for me. As an autistic woman I liked the representation of the main character, but...
By the end of book it felt like the author had a checklist of IDs, and every character had to represent someone or something, and I felt like it cheapened it, watering down the representation until it was just another drop in the bucket. Some of the other characters will have their own books in the series, and those details could have been teased, but then waited for their own books to actually get into the IDs of those characters.
Secondly - the break up was so random and not supported by the plot, and same with the reunion. The characters deserved better, and it cost my rating a whole star.
