The Wedding Date

The story that unfolds was filled with sweet moments, delicious banter and mutual respect and friendship. Along the way, we learn about Alexa's job at the Mayor's office and Drew's job as a pediatric surgeon. I love that they are both hard-working, well rounded and confident. This doesn't mean they are without flaws and communication is definitely a weakness for both when it comes to personal feelings. On the job, they got this, but expressing things to each other...oh boy!

Lack of communications, assumptions and personal fears complicated the relationship, but I could not help rooting for them. I felt Alexa's pain but also wish she had opened up more and stopped assuming she knew everything. Drew is adorkable! His inner dialogue and fears had me laughing. He spoke just like I imagine a pediatric doctor would with patience and strong listening skills.  Secondary characters, work, and family added interest and propelled some couple's fears. Aside from wanting to shake them both, the drama wasn't overdone and allowed for personal growth and reflection.

Janina Edwards narrates The Wedding Date and I thought she gave voice to both characters capturing their emotions and passions. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
