This had so much potential, but didn't quite live up to the hype. Our main character is a woman of color lawyer (as was the author), which is super relevant to my interests. And it involves one of my favorite tropes: fake dating! And the first part was great with the meet cute and the wedding and the fake relationship turned real. But the eponymous wedding date was over after about a third of the way in, and the story became much less interesting.
The rest of the book is just weekends of (not well written) sex over and over between meals of tacos and doughnuts, flying between LA and SF, and too many misunderstandings because even though these characters obviously like each other, they don't know how to communicate. They stress so much about their long distance thing, but they see each other all the time - more than some relationships I've had that are not long distance. And they're so frustrating - just talk to each other and stop acting like babies!
Still there were some things I enjoyed: The first third was cute. I usually hate when the point of view switches, but the switching back and forth was pulled off well here. And of course I have to give it some points just because it personally related to my life with the interracial relationship and Alexa being a lawyer and one of the few women of color in her law school class and job and navigating that whole mess. Still, I don't know if I'll be picking up another one of Guillory's books.
