How to Align the Stars
By Amy Dressler
A modern retelling of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, the original enemies-to-lovers romcom.
Publisher's Weekly calls Amy Dressler's new novel a "sparkling debut."
Beatrice works at a small college, spending an inordinate amount of time avoiding Ben, a librarian she believes wronged her when they were students. Their rapid-fire exchanges could almost be mistaken for chemistry, if he hadn't done that unspeakable thing so many years ago. . .
Her younger cousin Heron is a wistful senior student on the same campus. The opposite of Beatrice, she is a hopeless romantic.
After Heron's boyfriend proposes on a magical night at her father's winery, Bea is worried her younger cousin is making a mistake. Heron responds to Bea's criticism with a matchmaking scheme designed to show Bea the upside of romance.
Their world comes crashing down during a scandal involving the campus fraternity brothers. Each finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about the best course for the future. Eventually, each woman must make a choice: Bea between the comfortable role of merry spinster or a fulfilling partnership; Heron between marriage or reaching for a new dream.
