I think I’ve grown out of the meet cute circumstance fake date romance stuff. I honestly just found it boring. I was just sitting there two chapters in thinking “why am I reading this?”

Adorable. I wish it was a smidge spicier but there’s truly nothing to complain about here. I love that this has all the trappings of a good rom com without the standard tropes, it sorta starts with a fake dating trope but it’s immediately tossed out the window, these people know what they want! The instant gratification is a pleasant change from the norm. Very cute!

1.5 rounded up - dnf'd at 35%.

Alexa is a beautiful, skilled lawyer and Drew is a beautiful pediatrician. A meet-cute in a stopped elevator leads to Drew begging Alexa to be his wedding date for the weekend, so he doesn't have to deal with the singles there. Now that I'm 1/3 of the way through the book, that part is over and we've moved into a weird little mating dance that has me rolling my eyes every few minutes.

The Wedding Date is dual POV, which is fine, except their povs are exactly the same - "I want them, but I bet they don't want me." It's a, frankly, bananas vibe, bc they're having sex like rabbits and it's been all of a day. They're both fully grown adults with massively important jobs, but somehow can't be bothered to tell each other how they feel and actually communicate with one another? Please give me a break.

Breezy, fun, modern, with enjoyable characters who have more going on than their romance and effortless prose.

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!
