Much Ado About Sweet Nothing
Alison May

Is something always better than nothing? 
Ben Messina is a certified maths genius and romance sceptic. He and Trix met at university and have been quarrelling and quibbling ever since, not least because of Ben’s decision to abandon their relationship in favour of … more maths! Can Trix forget past hurt and help Ben see a life beyond numbers, or is their long history in danger of ending in nothing? 
Charming and sensitive, Claudio Messina, is as different from his brother as it is possible to be and Trix’s best friend, Henrietta, cannot believe her luck when the Italian model of her dreams chooses her. But will Claudio and Henrietta’s pursuit for perfection end in a disaster that will see both of them starting from zero once again? 
This is a fresh and funny retelling of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, set in the present day.
