I’ve been obsessed with everything Sarah Echavarre Smith has written for years now, and this book is no different. Much Ado About Hating You combined the tension of enemies to lovers with two fanfic writers online flawlessly. We love a man who can write fanfic for women, and Aidan definitely can.
Listening to Aidan and Micah complain about each other TO each other was so funny. I love the use of technology and anonymity. It always adds a fun layer of entertainment when the characters are forced to rectify the person they know in person with the person they know online.
And of course, as a self-proclaimed Shakespeare girlie, I looooooved all the references here!! It fully tracks to me that these two Shakespeare nerds would ultimately fall for each other, despite their initial resistance.
Thank you to Harlequin – Romance and Afterglow Books by Harlequin for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
