D'Vaughn and Kris Plan a Wedding by Chencia C. Higgins
4.0
emotional lighthearted fast-paced

This was too damn cute ♥️♥️♥️ Two contestants (and strangers) get matched up and have to convince their families that they are getting married in 6 weeks. If they make it to the end, they can win $100,000 each. 

There was a lot that I loved about this. D'Vaughn and Kris were both really well developed characters. Their banter and chemistry were excellent. 

I adored the insight into their relationships with their respective families. It was so realistic- the absolute acceptance and support that Kris experienced with her family versus the unintentionally hurtful ways that D'Vaughn's own family fell short but worked towards being better allies. 

My only complaint is it fell kind of flat leading up to the final big moment. I don't know if I was just expecting a little more drama to unfold prior to, but the resolution came too easily for me.
