✨ Summarized by Bookclubs AI
Readers say *The Wedding Date* has a charming premise with moments of light, fluffy romance and relatable life elements beyond the central love story....
Romance. Ah love. Love between a white pediatric surgeon who need a date and black lawyer who works for the mayor of Berkeley. Solid read. Wasn't spectacular.
I don’t know if it’s just because the voice of the audiobook sounded much older than the character she was supposed to be playing or what. There was so much miscommunication and assumption and insecurity that the chemistry felt from them in the initial portion of the book did not last throughout the entirety of the book. I read this because I bought the proposal and didn’t realize it was the second one in the series but now I’m scared to read the proposal.
I read The Proposal first but wanted to go back and read this one before reading the next one. Guillory is an excellent writer but this one isn't my favorite of the two I've read so far. Alexa and Drew drove me a little crazy for two professional adults. I give it three stars because I enjoyed a light read. Actually glad I didn't read it first because I would have passed on the rest but because I read The Proposal first I have hope for the series.
2.3 Had some interesting moments but I am not a fan of assumptions and that was happening constantly throughout the book. Also not the biggest fan of Drew.
