A Creative Shakesperean Spin-Off!
Author Ari Burton’s ‘Crossed Paths,’ a creative spin-off of Shakespeare’s ‘Much Ado About Nothing,’ is a lighthearted and heartwarming LGBTQ romance between uptight attorney, Claudio Florence, and confident world-famous artist, Benedick Padua.
Propelled by an upcoming Pride Festival in the city, alternating narratives reveal each character’s vulnerabilities and admirable traits, courtesy of the author’s fine brushstrokes and vibrant tone.
Misunderstandings and misconceptions abound, eliciting both laughter and heartfelt emotion from the reader.
I highly recommend ‘Crossed Paths,’ a realistically messy, chaotic, bright, and hopeful story.
