The Proposal: Reese's Book Club (The Wedding Date 2)

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine Book Club Pick

"There is so much to relate to and throughout the novel, there is a sharp feminist edge. Loved this one, and you will too."--New York Times bestselling author Roxane Gay

The New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding Date serves up a novel about what happens when a public proposal doesn't turn into a happy ending, thanks to a woman who knows exactly how to make one on her own...

When someone asks you to spend your life with him, it shouldn't come as a surprise--or happen in front of 45,000 people.

When freelance writer Nikole Paterson goes to a Dodgers game with her actor boyfriend, his man bun, and his bros, the last thing she expects is a scoreboard proposal. Saying no isn't the hard part--they've only been dating for five months, and he can't even spell her name correctly. The hard part is having to face a stadium full of disappointed fans...

At the game with his sister, Carlos Ibarra comes to Nik's rescue and rushes her away from a camera crew. He's even there for her when the video goes viral and Nik's social media blows up--in a bad way. Nik knows that in the wilds of LA, a handsome doctor like Carlos can't be looking for anything serious, so she embarks on an epic rebound with him, filled with food, fun, and fantastic sex. But when their glorified hookups start breaking the rules, one of them has to be smart enough to put on the brakes...

The Proposal was a great feel good love story! I enjoyed the development of the characters and Jasmine Guillory’s writing is a breathe of fresh air! Looking forward to reading the next one!

I wanted to love this book so bad, I just couldn’t get into Carlos and Nik’s story. I don’t know if it was the constant talk of food(and I’m a foodie) or the story just didn’t have enough substance for me. It started out well with the premise and how they ended up meeting, but it just fizzled out after that for me.

Nope. All the nope.

No one should ever write Mojo in a serious manner unless referring to the power puff girls enemy.

Hard pass.

I enjoyed this book, however not as much as the first one. It felt very similar, just the man and woman's roles switched. Two people start dating casually, one falls in love, the other gets scared and they break up, the one who was always realizes they can't live without the other person and get back together. At least this one didn't end in a proposal.
