Trina's Reviews > The Wedding Date

Very adorable and sexy romance! I loved that this got right into things and began with the wedding and then let us watch how things unfolded after the fake date. For the most part, this was compulsively readable but I felt this maybe dragged on a little too long in the middle.

The main character is African American (ownvoices) and there is fat rep. It does toe the line of having some body image issues go away due to the love interest, but with the narrative being so in her head, I felt Alexa's thoughts about her weight were highly realistic to my experience and I loved seeing a character like myself in this way as the lead of a romance novel.

There are sex scenes. Some fade to black, some get quite descriptive, and some seemed liked they couldn't make up their mind which of these two options they wanted to be.

Overall, I loved the premise, I loved the characters, I was rooting for them, and I want to read more by this author!
