Ben and Beatriz

audioboek


Thereā€™s 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, sheā€™d 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 doesnā€™t want to be: spending a week at the ridiculous Cape Cod mansion of stupid-hot playboy Ben Montgomery. The same Ben Montgomery she definitely shouldnā€™t have hooked up with that one timeā€¦ The things we do for family.

White and wealthy, Ben talks the talk and walks the walk of privilege, but deep down, heā€™s wrestling with the politics and expectations of a conservative family he canā€™t relate to. Though Beatrizā€™s 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 Benā€™s assumptions begin to unravel and their hookups turn into something real, they start wondering if itā€™s still possible to hold space for one another and the inescapable love that unites them.

This retelling of Shakespeareā€™s Much Ado About Nothing is both razor-sharp and swoon-worthy: the perfect love story for our time.
