I have long been fascinated by idea of soulmates, so I was thrilled to find this book on Netgalley.
The idea that there is one person in the whole world that can literally allow you to see things in colour is a really interesting premise that this book explores and how the idea that you may be soulmates, but is it enough to base your whole life around?
Bea thinks not, she met her soulmate a long time ago and through a series of miscommunication and misunderstandings chose to carve a life away from him, while her sister believes in it totally, she met her soulmate and turned her life upside down to accommodate his life, but at what cost to herself?
The book progress through a few days and truths are revealed and lives will be changed. I would definitely recommend this book, especially if you enjoy Shakespeare .

My fanfiction loving heart was so excited to see that someone has brought the soulmate trope into mainstream writing (how has alphaverse made it to romance novels and soulmate tropes haven't??), and Shakespeare is the perfect place for it to start.

In this retelling of Much Ado about Nothing, McLean leans into both the comedy of errors of it all (there is nothing more comedy of errors than reality TV) and the difficulties that a soulmate trope would lead to - does knowing you have a soulmate mean that you adjust your life for them or that you will certainly work out?

I'd love to see McLean continue this theme with other classic pieces of literature - and perhaps to see some characters who are left with a bittersweet ending to get a second chance at love. Thanks to Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for the early copy to review.
