It's really more of a 3.5 stars. I think this quote from Adam Sandler's master opus, The Wedding Singer sums it up best...
“You can't expect him to live forever with his sister and the nipple twisting that goes on there.”
I recommend this chick lit book for it's humor, likability of characters and the issues it presented. Drew and Alexa meet while stuck in a hotel elevator. They had such a great “connection” that he invited her to be his plus 1 at a wedding he was attending that weekend in the same hotel. She agreed on the spur of the moment and thus began a romance neither was planning on. She lived in San Francisco and he lived in Los Angeles. She was black and he was white. Both busy professional lives (politics and medicine). Alexa didn't date much and Drew was a serial breaker upper as he was not the marrying kind. There is good dialogue between the principals and their “persons” throughout as well as the dialogue each of them had with themselves regarding their growing attraction for each other. A very modern and enjoyable read.
(Full disclosure: the author is a friend.) This book is so much fun, like a perfect Netflix rom-com in written form (the best recent rom-coms I've seen were on Netflix, that is completely a compliment). I loved how Alexa had a job that mattered to her just as much as Drew's and I loved that the climactic scene took all that into account. So good, so satisfying, fizzy and fun.
