Nothing Happened

✨ New boys. Old secrets. And one year at Messina Academy, where "nothing" is ever what it seems. ✨

For decades, Messina Academy for Young Ladies has upheld its legacy of tradition and prestige. But this year, everything is about to change. After a fire forces the boys from St. Joseph's to relocate, Messina's once-serene halls will welcome male students for the first time in fifty years.

Among them are siblings Beatrice and Anthony Davis, who have just moved to Scotland following the loss of their parents. Surrounded by family and old friends, they hope to find solace, but grief isn't the only challenge ahead.

As the school year unfolds, teenage drama takes centre stage. Beatrice's sweet cousin Hana quickly falls for Cole Singer, pulling Beatrice into the orbit of his friends, including her longtime rival, the infuriating yet charming Benny Quinn, and the kind-hearted Peter Balthazar MacDonald.

Meanwhile, The Watch, the school's beloved gossip podcast, is busy uncovering secrets. When its clueless yet determined hosts stumble upon a hidden conspiracy with Peter at its heart, they become entangled in a mystery far bigger than they ever anticipated.

Despite its title, Nothing Happened promises a year brimming with masquerades, mischief, romance, rivalry, and a cunning villain who threatens to upend it all.

A fresh, modern retelling of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, this novel is a whirlwind of honour, desire, wit, and unexpected love at Messina Academy for Young Ladies.
