While We Were Dating

This is the sixth and final book of Guillory's 'Wedding Date' series. I’ve loved this series, it’s so fun and lighthearted!

For this book, I loved the flirty banter and switching POVs! I loved Ben, he’s one of my new favorite leading man (but I’ll always love Carlos the best). I didn’t always like Anna, there were certain actions she did but then would criticize Ben for wanting to do the same so she could be a hypocrite sometimes.

Despite not always liking Anna, I think the characters were well written and developed. I loved the discussions on mental health and therapy! It was such great rep and I enjoyed how open Anna and Ben were about their struggles.

As with all Guillory books, there was a third act breakup with some miscommunication, but it was one sided lack of communicating their feelings, so it didn’t bother me as much as this trope usually does. There was also a couple of plot points that could’ve been more developed.

I loved seeing the cameos from past characters again! It was so much fun, but once again I loved Maddie and Theo in everyone else’s book, just not their own book that I DNFd.

Overall a light, easy read and definitely a favorite for the month! I love Guillory’s books and now I’m done with the series (unless she decides to write more).

And with that here’s my ranking for the series (of the ones I read, I won’t count the 2 I DNFd):
1.The Proposal (Carlos forever has my heart no matter what)
2.Royal Holiday
3.While We Were Dating
4.The Wedding Date
