Mary Kay Andrews' âSave the Dateâ is a breezy rom-com that manages to avoid most of the worst clichés in presenting its tale of the spunky florist-shop owner trying to keep her head above water while beset by a neglectful landlord, a series of Bridezillas and their equally formidable mothers, and an big-city competition trying to muscle her out of the business.
There is, of course, a hunky hero, who's a really nice guy even if he is a bit tone-deaf to what the heroine needs (beyond the obligatory bedroom romp). And Andrews doubles down on the cute-dog factor, giving each of her protagonists one. This time, there's actually a plot-related reason for all floppy-eared characters.
Andrews has, fortunately, abandoned the âhe-done-me-wrong-and-we're-going-to-get-revengeâ motif used in many of her earlier books, while keeping her quirky heroine sassy and funny. Fans of Andrews' breezy romances will find nothing lacking in this one.
