When I first picked up The Wedding Date, I immediately thought of the rom-com with the same name, starring Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney. Boy, was I glad I decided to read it. Drew Nichols and Alexa Monroe find themselves stuck in an elevator in a San Francisco hotel. Dateless on the eve of his ex-girlfriend’s wedding, Drew convinces Alexa to go as his date. Drew, a guy who doesn’t do relationships, and Alex, filled with doubts and overthinking, actually really hit it off and this fake relationship quickly becomes a real one with weekend trips to see each other. With a meet-cute, a charming cast of characters, and an unmistakable whirlwind romance, The Wedding Date is a rom-com must-read!

Lou’s dream comes true when she has her own little French restaurant in downtown Milwaukee. Trying to surprise her fiancé on his birthday, she walks in on him cheating on her with an intern.
