With an amused expression, her companion introduces himself and steps forward to pick up the emergency phone. At this point, she’s startled to discover another passenger in there with her. She’s mentally psyching herself up for the visit (she has a challenging relationship with her sister) – texting to let her know she’s on her way up – when the elevator abruptly stops. Running late to meet up with her sister (who’s in town to celebrate making partner at her NYC law firm), she quickly jumps into the closest open elevator. Young, black, single, well-educated and a bit of a workaholic – Alexa is mostly content with her busy life when The Wedding Date opens. Guillory’s writing style, and The Wedding Date, while charming, is simply average in every way.Īlexa Monroe is chief of staff for the mayor of Berkeley, California. I liked the premise, the pairing and the settings… but I was never invested in the story or Ms. Guillory introduces two appealing principals, the story is predictable and flat, and her characters spend too much time in their own heads and physically separated (he lives in Los Angeles, she lives in Berkeley) – doubting and second-guessing their relationship the whole way through. Based on early buzz, I had high hopes for The Wedding Date.
