description:  Theres nothing like falling for your worst enemy.Beatriz Herrera is a fierce woman who will take you down with her quick wit and keen intellect. And after the results of the 2016 election worked hard to erase her identity as a queer biracial woman shed be right to. Especially if you come for her sweet BFF cousin Hero. Beatriz would do anything for her a loyalty that lands Beatriz precisely where she doesnt want to be: spending a week at the ridiculous Cape Cod mansion of stupid-hot playboy Ben Montgomery. The same Ben Montgomery she definitely shouldnt have hooked up with that one time The things we do for family.White and wealthy Ben talks the talk and walks the walk of privilege but deep down hes wrestling with the politics and expectations of a conservative family he cant relate to. Though Beatrizs caustic tongue drives him wild in the very best way he's the last person she'd want because she has zero interest in compromising her identity. But as her and Bens assumptions begin to unravel and their hookups turn into something real they start wondering if its still possible to hold space for one another and the inescapable love that unites them. This retelling of Shakespeares Much Ado About Nothing is both razor-sharp and swoon-worthy: the perfect love story for our time.
