Resumen del Editor

A Reese's Book Club x Hello Sunshine on Audible Pick

“So excited to share my February pick for Reese’s Book Club: The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory! It starts with a proposal in front of 45,000 people at Dodger Stadium. But it’s not exactly love and baseball for Nikole (who says no!!!), and as she’s chased out of the stadium by live camera crews, she’s saved by a couple...of siblings.... Find out what happens next!” (Reese Witherspoon)

The New York Times best seller

"There is so much to relate to and throughout the novel, there is a sharp feminist edge. Loved this one, and you will too." (New York Times best-selling author Roxane Gay)

The best-selling 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....

Reseñas de la Crítica

“With sharp banter, a well-rounded cast of characters, and plenty of swoony scenes, Jasmine Guillory defends her position as one of the most exciting rom-com writers out there.” (Buzzfeed)

“There is so much to relate to and throughout the novel, there is a sharp feminist edge. Loved this one, and you will too.” (Roxane Gay, New York Times best-selling author)

“The feminist romance touches on uncomfortable conversations about consent during courtship and works to a satisfying ending.” (Mental Floss)

"The real pleasure here is the little world Guillory has created...a Los Angeles populated with a diverse, devoted crowd of nice people who hold each other up, treat each other to cupcakes, have each other’s back, and occasionally fall in love." (Seattle Times)

Not Your Ordinary RomCom

I am actually looking forward to reading this title again. When are they adapting this for film?

Light

This was a light, fun read. Loved that the topic of feminism is highlighted throughout the whole book. Not so well written though, and the story is just “meh..”.

great book

good book.

Enjoyed it. easy to listen. to narrator. story predictable, though . I enjoyed the characters.

Love love love

I love this book. Best book I listen to this year.
I recommend it highly.

Loved it!

I am in love with Jasmine Guillory’s writing style. Her characters are relatable and funny! I am an author myself and if I ever choose to produce and audiobook I would love to work with Janina Edwards, her voice is perfect!

Meh.

The person reading the book didn't have the best acting skills and put the wrong emphasis on words. It made it a little difficult to enjoy. Also the story really wasn't that exciting. The author was trying to convince us that the main character was independent and was cold hearted when it came to men which made me not really like or relate to her. I love the diversity in the story though but I do think that the story was a bit boring. Nothing excited really happened after the proposal until the very end. The sour cream moment was suppose to be funny but it wasn't really. It was just an ok book.

Loved it!

Couldn't put it down. I loved listening to it versus reading it. Great pick for book clubs.

pretty good

I enjoyed it. I thought there might be a different twist, but it was pretty predictable but sometimes it's good to listen to a book like that.
