I want to preface that “Much Ado About Nothing” is my absolute favorite Shakespeare play. I love the continuation of the “If Shakespeare Was An Auntie Series” (the first being “Dating Dr. Dil (which I love so hard) being a “Taming of the Shew” inspired) and this book is the embodiment of the tension and sparks between Beatrice and Benedick in our main characters, Benjamin and Bobbi.
Nisha Sharma is so incredibly good at building tension and the tension between these two is hot. I love how she draws the reader in to feel just as frustrated with the characters. That is a hard thing to create and she does it with ease.
The story itself focuses around the planning of the wedding for Prem and Kareena (loved seeing them again) and Benjamin and Bobbi must overcome their mutual dislike of each other to work together. Oh and there is a wedding saboteur that they need to find because of course. There is also family drama, meddling relatives, and tension that just melts the pages.
I enjoyed this book. It hit me in the all the feels.
