The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory
3.0

I originally planned on making this a solid 4 maybe 4.5 rating. Starting off I absolutely loved this book. The meet cute in the elevator, the witty banter, the curvy black main character, and the premise itself were all amazing and sucked me in immediately. The more of this book I read though, the more frustrated I started to get. The cute scenes were cute, yes, but omgggg were the characters frustrating as hell. The whole “I don’t want to admit my feelings because I don’t want to be rejected or embarrassed” thing was fine for the first 1/2 of the book, but it got to be real old and real repetitive after awhile. Open your mouths and talk to each other!! Damn! I also didn’t like the scene after their first major fight (which I’ll discuss more on my blog because spoilers) and how quickly that was wrapped up and never really addressed. All in all, my love of the book did dwindle as I finished it, but I’m still interested in picking up another one because it wasn’t all bad.
