The last couple of books I’ve read hadn’t really held my interest so I was pretty excited when I saw that this book had become available from my hold list at the library. The Wedding Date did not disappoint and it was the perfect book to push me out of my reading slump. I adored this book and the characters.
Alexa and Drew meet when they are stranded in an elevator during a power outage. Needing a date to a friend’s wedding the next day, Drew impulsively asks Alexa to go with him. After the two have perhaps too much fun at the wedding, Drew flies back to Los Angeles and Alexa heads home to Berkley. When they can’t stop thinking about each other, Alexa and Drew embark on a long-distance relationship.
This is an adorable and romantic story that I could not put down. I loved the flirting between the two characters; they had so many fun and sweet moments. Also, both characters are constantly eating! I wanted to eat all the food they talked about – cheese, crackers, doughnuts, french fries, all of it.
The story just didn’t focus on the two main characters. It delved into both of their careers and their friends. Drew has some great moments as we see him working as a pediatric surgeon. Alexa is smart and focused on her career as the mayor’s chief of staff. Both of them have awesome best friends and co-workers that contributed on their own to the story.
I think this is my favorite book so far I’ve read this year.
