The Wedding Date

by Jasmine Guillory

From the author of The Proposal, a Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine Book Club Pick!

One of Cosmopolitan's 33 Books to Get Excited About in 2018!

A feel-good romance to warm your heart, for fans of Jo Watson, Sarah Morgan and Holly Martin. A groomsman and his last-minute guest are about to discover if a fake date can go the distance in this 'charming, warm, sexy gem of a novel' (Roxane Gay).

On the eve of his ex's wedding festivities, Drew Nichols is minus a plus one. Until a power outage strands him with the perfect candidate for a fake girlfriend...

Agreeing to go to a wedding with a guy she gets stuck with in an elevator is not something Alexa Monroe would normally do. But Drew's proposal proves hard to resist.

After their wedding date turns into a whole weekend of fun in San Francisco, Drew and Alexa return to their all-consuming careers - his in LA and hers in Berkeley. Too bad they can't stop thinking about each other...

It could be the long-distance dating disaster of the century - or Drew and Alexa could be just a flight away from what each of them truly wants.

The story about "Wedding Date" itself, took place in two to three chapters only, the rest is about the "date" only. How the characters decided to still keep in touch with each other after the wedding event that both of them have attended. A lot of racial issues has been raised as well. I only picked this book because of the "long-distance" relationship it promises but somehow along the story, it gets dragging and the "racist" part is annoying. I kind of want to defend Alexa because she doesn't deserve to be treated like cancer in society. She's also a human being and is entitled to have her own opinions and emotions. I guess the reason I dislike the "racist" part is because the truth hurts because we know that in reality, there are still people who think so highly of themselves and thought there's nothing wrong with judging others. It's just sickening. Although, good thing Drew grew some balls and decided to defend Alexa from his entitled selfish brat friends.
