The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory
3.0

Good
- representation
- real life ray of sunshine Carlos
- actual discussion about race in this book about an interracial couple
- Olivia and Alexa’s relationship. My sister and I haven’t always been as close as we are now so reading good sister relationships makes me happy.

Bad
- OMFG IF I READ ONE MORE “I DON’T NEED TO TALK TO THEM I ALREADY KNOW WHAT THRY’LL SAY THIS RELATIONSHIP IS JUST OVER I GUESS” BOOK I WILL SCREAM
- tbh I did not feel comfortable with Alexa’s relationship with her weight. She was constantly criticizing herself and comparing herself and I’m just really tired of that kind of fat rep. It doesn’t make me feel included or good about myself, it makes me uncomfortable as sometimes even more insecure (This just is my opinion and experience, and I know some people will relate to it and enjoy the rep)
- Theo? Who and why?
