In The Wedding Date, Alexa and Drew meet while they are briefly stuck together in a hotel elevator. Alexa agrees to be Drew's last minute date to his ex-girlfriend's wedding. They pretend to be a couple in front of Drew's friends and seemingly have a blast all weekend long. However, is it real? Or is it just part of the act they are putting on? As they continue to see each other casually via a long-distance relationship, Alexa and Drew begin to wonder, is this really casual? Or is it something more? And could they even make it work if they wanted to?
Alexa and Drew make an adorable couple. Their playful banter and secret feelings will have you rooting for these two to finally snap out of it, be honest with each other, and live happily ever after!
Plus, there is an Anne of Green Gables reference that is totally on point, which cemented, for me, how much fun this book is to read.
The other element that makes The Wedding Date a unique read is that Alexa is black and Drew is white, so they have to work though the dynamics that brings to their relationship, for Drew especially. I don't often gravitate towards diverse books, and I am clearly missing out because there is so much here that is relatable and relevant.
The Wedding Date is Jasmine Guillory's first novel and is available now, but I am already counting down the days until her next release in the fall, The Proposal!
