The Wedding Party by Jasmine Guillory

Strong character development: Yes

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.
