The protagonists have some amusing quirks and habits that reveal their flaws, but overuse destroys their charm. Mundane details and stilted dialogue add little complexity to the plot or characters, slowing the narrative pace. There are some awkward, sweet, and sexy moments between the newly acquainted characters, but the story wanes as Alexa and Drew attempt a real relationship complications aren’t developed, and the constant overthinking diminishes the strengths of the characters. The charade develops into a long-distance relationship stifled by doubts and overthinking as the two protagonists attempt to reconcile their emotions and questions about each other’s feelings. After Drew Nichols, a sexy pediatrician from Los Angeles, and Alexa Monroe, the Berkeley mayor’s chief of staff, are stuck in an elevator together, he inexplicably asks her to be his date at his ex-girlfriend’s wedding. In Guillory’s flat debut, a stalled elevator sparks a fake date that leads to muddled emotions.
