About the Author

McKelle George hated reading Shakespeare in high school. But then she spent a summer abroad seeing productions at Stratford-upon-Avon and the Globe in London. She fell in love with all the different ways the same play could be interpreted. She now lives in Salt Lake City, where she mentors young writers with Salt Lake Teens Write and works as an editor and reference librarian. Speak Easy, Speak Love is her first novel. www.mckellegeorge.com

Reviews

"Speak Easy, Speak Love is a book nerd's dream. With the vivid hedonism of the 1920s, a cast of exquisitely drawn characters (with snappy chemistry, and sexual tension that makes you want to smash their faces together), and wit to rival Will himself...loving, fresh, and unputdownable." -- Mackenzi Lee, author of the New York Times-bestselling The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue

"Deliciously enjoyable...This is sure to delight fans of Anna Godberson's Bright Young Things and Shakespeare's writings alike, leaving a taste for much more of the Roaring Twenties and much more from George." -- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

"The vibrant, dangerous atmosphere of a Roaring Twenties speakeasy is clever setting for this debut, a reimagining of Much Ado about Nothing. ...for fans of an enemies-to-lovers romance, this biting comedy is always a classic." -- Booklist

"George adeptly captures Shakespeare's witty characters and transplants them to the 1920s . . . and cleverly incorporates all the romantic misunderstandings among the well-rounded characters. The time period is accurately portrayed...this retelling is witty and clever." -- School Library Journal

"Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing bears up uncannily well . . . readers will be fully immersed in the excitement, glamour, and danger of a culture tipping into rebellion and making way for change in more ways than one." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
