This is the first romance novel I have ever finished. As a horror and nonfiction reader, I really ventured out of my comfort zone with The Wedding Date. And I am SO GLAD I DID!! I loved it! Both main characters are intelligent and interesting in their own right, very well developed. And their love story is far from perfect, with ups and downs all along the way. I completely identified with Alexa's insecurities with her body image.

"I want to still be me when I wake up one fine morning and have breakfast at Tiffany's."

I got a chuckle out of this line: (On medical thrillers of the 1980s) "And, just as surrogate mothers always turned out to be crazed murderers, there was always a previous victim who seemed insane but who might be telling the truth if everyone would stop dosing her with Thorazine for a second and listen." (Page 54)

I love when I get to the book's namesake line. Page 187.
