The Proposal

Jasmine Guillory · 2018

She turns down a jumbotron proposal in front of forty thousand people, and leaves with the stranger who rescued her.

Nik is on a date at Dodger Stadium when her barely-known boyfriend proposes on the jumbotron, misspelling her name. She says no in front of forty thousand people, and a stranger and his sister get her out. What follows is a romance built on the appeal of low stakes: two people who have agreed nothing serious is happening, discovering otherwise. Guillory writes warm, sharp, food-filled contemporary romance with a light touch about race and ambition.

Our February book club pick is delightfully entertaining—there's a failed public proposal, plenty of witty romantic banter, and a lot of cupcakes.
