Thank you @netgalley for my ARC

“I’m not perfect. I know I’m not cool or chill or low
maintenance. But that doesn’t mean I am unlovable.”

This line captures the heart of Save the Date, a
rom-com that is as funny as it is emotionally raw.
Based on Allison Raskin’s real-life experience, the
novel follows Emma Moskowitz, a couples therapist
and online creator, whose fiancé unexpectedly leaves
her six months before their wedding. Instead of
canceling, she embarks on Operation: Save My
Date—a public search for a new groom by her original
wedding day.

At first, Emma’s plan seems ridiculous, but
underneath, it reflects the fear of being left behind.
This book isn’t just about love—it’s about self-worth,
societal pressure, and embracing life’s unexpected
turns. The chemistry between Emma and Will, a
charismatic podcast producer, adds depth, while Matt,
a kind divorcee, presents a safe alternative. Through it
all, Emma must decide what she truly wants.

Raskin blends humor with real emotional stakes,
making Emma’s journey both entertaining and
relatable. The novel tackles modern relationships,
online scrutiny, and the messy process of healing with
authenticity. While some side characters, like Emma’s
sister Jackie, are frustrating, they add to the story’s
realism.

Save the Date is more than a rom-com—it’s a heartfelt,
thought-provoking exploration of love and
self-discovery. If you’ve ever felt lost or pressured to
follow a timeline that isn’t yours, this book is a
must-read.
