The New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding Date serves up a novel about what happens when a public proposal doesn't turn into a happy ending, thanks to a woman who knows exactly how to make one on her own...
When someone asks you to spend your life with him, it shouldn't come as a surprise—or happen in front of 45,000 people.
When freelance writer Nikole Paterson goes to a Dodgers game with her actor boyfriend, his man bun, and his bros, the last thing she expects is a scoreboard proposal. Saying no isn't the hard part—they've only been dating for five months, and he can’t even spell her name correctly. The hard part is having to face a stadium full of disappointed fans...
At the game with his sister, Carlos Ibarra comes to Nik’s rescue and rushes her away from a camera crew. He’s even there for her when the video goes viral and Nik’s social media blows up—in a bad way. Nik knows that in the wilds of LA, a handsome doctor like Carlos can't be looking for anything serious, so she embarks on an epic rebound with him, filled with food, fun, and fantastic sex. But when their glorified hookups start breaking the rules, one of them has to be smart enough to put on the brakes...
Kind of disappointing After really enjoying "The Wedding Date", I was really looking forward to this book. Unfortunately, I found it just kind of boring. The book is clearly very committed to giving the characters healthy realtionship dynamics, and that's definitely an admirable goal. The problem is that it's so unsubtle that it sort of feels like a lecture. Worse, it Rob's the characters of any chemistry. In "The Wedding Date" Drew and Alexa had immediate chemistry; in "The Proposal", even though you know Carlos and Nikole will wind up together, it's kind of a while before there's any hint that they're into each other. Even then, it feels more like telling than showing.Nothing special I loved this authors first book and waited weeks with this in my cart waiting for it to become available, but I’m a bit let down. The beginning of the book is probably the most intriguing part- it then slows down and never really picks the interest level back up. Her first novel was definitely better- this one is rather boring and not too original. An okay read, but nothing great. Definitely recommend her first book though!Bestseller List?!?! "The Proposal" is the worst book I've read in a long time. I liked the previous Hello Sunshine Book Club book better - and I thought I didn't like that one. "The Proposal" begins by describing the weather which was my first clue for the style of writing I was in for. In the second chapter the main character has given her address to a man she just met, but a few paragraphs later she "thankfully" hasn't given him her address. The characters all feel flat and forced with no distinct voices. They all sound the same - undeveloped and childish; the men sound like the women except they say "man" a lot. Half of the book was useless, boring narrative - conversations I wouldn't eavesdrop on, let alone enjoy reading. Race seems forced into this book. It's great that there's gender diversity, but why can't we have a description of the character rather than a thought of "OMG she's black!". All the characters are laughing at everyday comments and reacting to situations like children. I could go on. I made a list, but I'm done with this book. I only finished because I tried really hard to let it redeem itself, but began skimming at 60%. It was painful. The marketer must have been great to get this book on a bestseller list.
