The Wedding Party by Jasmine Guillory
3.0
The Wedding Party is book 3 of 6 in Jasmine Guillory’s series of interconnected standalones. This book starts in the middle of The Wedding Date timeline and also overlaps The Proposal timeline, which I loved. It was so fun seeing the other characters in the middle of their stories and knowing how they would end. It’s hilarious to imagine Maddie and Theo sneaking around during different parts of Alexa’s story. I also loved reading about Maddie’s mom as a set up for the next book in the series, Royal Holiday (which I read out of order at Christmas time).
The love story was a little disappointing for me though. I loved both Maddie and Theo in The Wedding Date, and I was so excited for their story. Much of the first half was booty calls even though they didn’t particularly like each other, which is just not a storyline that appeals to me. I continued reading so I could learn what happens to the characters, but I was not invested. Both characters say really hurtful things to each other as defense mechanisms throughout the book, and I couldn’t really see why they actually liked each other. It was hard for me to believe in their HEA.
