I wanted to love this but I just got so annoyed. But the ending. 🥰🥰🥰
I love how all of them came together. Also when Alexa locked them in the closet. 💀 both my favorite parts.

I loved both Maddie and Theo in The Wedding Date, so I was super excited to see they had their own book. This only took me so long to read because of the time I spent in the hospital and the days afterward where I couldn’t read on my phone. It was a fun story with fun characters and banter. I especially liked the tiny Nikole and Carlos cameos, a.k.a. the couple from The Proposal. They’re iconic. As for this book, there were a few small things I didn’t like, the most noticeable being the occasionally cheesy dialogue, but it was still a lighthearted, mostly enjoyable read. I loved Alexa’s intervention after Maddie and Theo’s big fight. I hope to see more of these characters in Guillory’s other books, which I’ll probably read sometime soon.

Medical content is tagged because there’s a political rally about 2/3 through the book, and at the rally, a couple of protesters turn violent. This isn’t described in much detail. However, Theo gets a concussion from a protester and spends a few hours in the hospital. After he goes home, there’s more discussion about his concussion and how’s he’s doing.meghanm404's review against another edition

I really enjoyed this book. I think this might be my favorite of Jasmine Guillory’s series so far. I loved Maddie and Theo. They were interesting characters, with interesting flaws and careers they care about, and I really enjoyed their chemistry on the page (or in the earphones in my case).
In this romance, Maddie and Theo don’t get along. They left a bad first impression on each other years ago and generally avoid spending time together, except that they share the same best friend. When that best friend (Alexa from book 1 in the series), gets engaged, they both end up in the wedding party and end up spending a lot more time together. You can guess where that leads.
It’s predictable, but the journey was fun. I will say that there is a scene with a political protest that becomes violent that was a little jarring as a reader in 2021, post-Capitol Insurrection. It’s a quick scene, but fair warning if you also feel a little triggered by that right now.
These books take place in the same universe and past characters make appearances, but you can totally read this one without having read any of the previous books in the series.
