This was enjoyable to read. I thought it was interesting to start the book with the two mcs meeting and I wish they communicated better (major are we dating or are we not dating back miscommunication that felt really stupid) but their relationship was cute.  overall this is just a basic fake dating romance so no complaints from me

I definitely know that I love this author and I knew that this book was going to be a cute love story that was very lighthearted. It definitely was but it was enjoyable to follow along with their story. The only unbelievable thing was traveling back-and-forth from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Luckily they had jobs where they got paid a lot of money but it’s still slightly unbelievable. But I’m glad they got their happy ending.

CW: alcohol, mentions of food, miscommunication, medical content, cancer, mention of car accident but not graphic,

I'm very disappointed in this book since I loved Jasmine Guillory's book, Party of Two. But, god Drew was so insufferable to read and the miscommunication is not romantic, it's infuriating to read. I loved the beginning of the book but like other reviews I've read, I have to agree - the middle really needs to be more fleshed out and there's barely any character development. What I liked about Party of Two is how the sex scenes were broken up but with The Wedding Date, there's a pattern of sex > fighting >  miscommunication between characters > they meet up again and the cycle continues. It felt like the plot was very much lacking the middle.

Also, just something I'm personally not okay with is using "depressed" in place of sad. Being depressed vs being sad about a situation are very different things. That's something I caught and it put a sour taste in my mouth.

This isn't one I'd recommend but I will be picking up Guillory's other works! However, if you like miscommunication, you might like this! This one was just not it for me.

I read this after I had read “The Proposal” and really really enjoyed it!! Such enjoyable characters and brought tension to keep it moving, but not too much to take the fun out of it!
