The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory

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.

I've been wanting to read this for quite some time now, I first heard about it some time last year and I've been anxiously checking to see when it was due to be released for the last month.  Fake dating to real relationship is one of my all time favourite tropes, and when it's done well it's a real pleasure to read - The Wedding Date definitely ticked all of the boxes for me.

A fun, contemporary romance, I loved the meet-cute between our two protagonists and the story that unfolded.  I blitzed this book in a very short period of time and I just couldn't put it down.  It was such a fun read, although it did drag a bit in the middle.  The POC rep was good to see along with an interracial relationship, which I don't often see in romance novels.  Also, while I love the colour scheme of the cover, I'm a bit annoyed that we didn't get the US cover as I think fits this book much better.  All in all, a super fun read and I need more by Jasmine Guillory ASAP - 4 stars.
