Author thebestjasmine's latest book picks up about where 'The Wedding Date' left off. We spoke to her about writing it, and her favorite parts
Since Jasmine Guillory's debut novel, The Wedding Date, came out back in 2018, she's had one of those years of which most newly published authors only dream. Her first book was adored by critics , while her second, The Proposal, spent more than a month on The New York Times bestseller list and was selected by Reese Witherspoon for her super-popular book club.
Ahead, we chat with Guillory about her favorite parts of the book, what she's taken away from being in her own wedding parties, and her fascination with the royal family. And then there's also a scene where they go and help Alexa pick out her wedding dress. I think I wrote that scene three or four times. The first few times I wrote it, it didn't have the right feeling to it. And then I went with a group of friends to help a friend pick out his girlfriend's engagement ring.
The relationship between Maddie and Theo, more so than the couples from your other two books, is very sexual. Sex scenes in books can sometimes come off as cringe-worthy and gimmicky, but I didn't find that to be the case with your writing, so I'm wondering how you approached writing their many hookups.
It plays a role for each of the characters for individual parts about them, but not so much about their relationships. And I have found that social media does a number on your self-esteem, and so sometimes that can come out in relationships because you see what other people are doing or you see what you feel like you have to be doing or what you should be doing or what people think of you, and that can kind of make you more stressed out or more paranoid or just more worried about everything.
But I still didn't know if anyone would be interested. I ran it by my agent, and I remember thinking maybe it could be a novella or e-book or something, and my editor was like,"No, I want this as a book. Can you get it to me by April, so we can have it out by October?" And I was like,"Sure." I don't know why I said that, I was just excited.Oh, absolutely. I've always been fascinated by the royal family and royals in general.
