Here Goes Nothing
Emma K. Ohland
(Author)Description
A fun yet thought-provoking modern reimagining of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.
Eighteen-year-old Beatrice has never been a fan of her neighbor Bennie, but when Beatrice's beloved younger sister starts dating one of Bennie's closest friends, Beatrice is drawn into their social circle. As Beatrice wrestles with increasingly confusing feelings for Bennie, her usually close relationship with her sister is fraying, her grief over their mother's death is simmering in the background, and she's overwhelmed by looming senior-year decisions about what she wants to do with her life. But after a crisis arises, Beatrice must figure out how to process past traumas and open up to the possibilities of the future.

About the Author
Reviews
"Finally, another entry for the delicious genre of Shakespeare stories in modern-day high school! . . . This novel ultimately expands past the relationship bubble. It's about finding one's identity, addressing personal sexuality, and discovering what one wants in the world with so many labels. A feisty queer retelling of a classic, perfect for a teach-along or lesson enhancement."--School Library Journal
-- (11/1/2024 12:00:00 AM)"Readers will root for high schooler Beatrice to get out of her own way and find happiness in this entertaining reimagining of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. . . Knowledge of Shakespeare isn't necessary to appreciate this drama-filled enemies-to-lovers plot that tackles themes of girl power, sisterhood, and confronting abusive romantic partners, and includes discussions surrounding the broad spectrum of sexuality and post-high school life."--Publishers Weekly
