the wedding date is EVERYTHING! i was cracking up with every page turn—funny? check. the romance? oh, so sweet. the meet-cute? adorable, especially that elevator scene had me grinning like an idiot the entire time. likable characters? BIG FAT CHECK! seriously, this book was so good to me.
so, drew needs a plus one for his ex's wedding, and a power outage throws him together with alexa. what starts as a fake date turns into a whole weekend of fun in san francisco. long-distance dating drama ensues, and you're left wondering if they'll make it work. it’s a rollercoaster.
the writing? loved it! first time in jasmine guillory's world, and i want more. easy, casual language—a breath of fresh air after all those intense fantasy reads.
alexa monroe (fmc): she's amazing! smart, funny, relatable anxieties—just an all-around wonderful character. loved how she never let anyone put her down. strong woman vibes all the way.
drew nichols (mmc): at first, he gave off player vibes, but once you get to know him, he's surprisingly sweet. not perfect, but he owns up to his mistakes. the way he talks about alexa had me swooning left and right. super cute guy with beautiful character development.
now their relationship, banter? cute. chemistry? off the charts. watching their love bloom? amazing. their interracial relationship is beautifully portrayed, and the way they handle issues, grow together—so heartwarming. not always perfect, but they communicated and accepted differences. also, they eat CONSTANTLY, but hey, it's kinda hilarious.
special mention to drew's hilarious best friend, carlos! seriously, this book wouldn't be the same without him. i need a book just about carlos, he's gold. someone tell him i'm single!
overall, finished in a day, invested in alexa and drew's love story. predictable but so much fun. if you're into elevator meet-cutes and fake relationships turning real, this is your jam.

”i’m so glad i got stuck in that elevator with you,” she said. “me, too.”
