I am just smiling like an idiot right now, clutching this book and praying that I don't wait this long again to read another Jasmine Guillory book. I loved it. I loved it so frickin' much.

When I read 'The Wedding Date' last year, I discovered this new love for romance books that don't have perfect female characters, women who are flawed, who are interesting and complex and eat FOOD! I got so hungry reading this book. Also, where are the real Drew's and Carlos's of our lives? I think I need to get me one of them. This novel is fluffy, it's romantic, it's gooey and delicious. Just think of it like a Lindt truffle. It's not good for you but who the fuck cares, it's AMAZING.

I've seen reviews of this book that say 'oh, it's just okay', but that's all I needed. It's a fluffy contemporary romance that doesn't have to say much or be top literary fiction. It'll make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, like you're curled in a blanket by a roaring fire. Also, I definitely shouted 'GIRL POWER' on several occasions- including when Nikole punched a douchebag in the face. It was awesome.

Now, I have a new favourite author. I can't actually wait to read 'The Wedding Party', which comes out later this year. Fizzing and bursting with diversity, positivity and light, 'The Proposal' is sweet as sugar and just as wonderful from the very first page.
