I read Hate Mail by Donna Marchetti last year and I really loved it so I was all too happy to pick up her second book ahead of its release. In The Proposal Project we follow Priscilla, an event planner who was recently fired from her job and is now starting her own business with her best friend Tina’s proposal as her first job. There’s only one problem - Tina’s boyfriend Ryan also wants to propose. In order not to ruin either of their wishes, Priscilla works together with Oliver, Ryan’s best friend who Priscilla used to have a crush on and now hates, to coordinate both of their proposals.

Donna Marchetti manages to stir up a lot of yearning, which is possibly the thing I love the most about reading romances. Priscilla and Oliver have a great dynamic and the will they won’t they causes a lot of beloved tension. My only criticism is that I thought things moved very quickly towards the end, but overall this was a super fun read with no annoying third act breakup and a whole lot of awwwwing.

Thank yous i much to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book.

Thank you to NetGalley, Donna Marchetti, and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

This story was such a fun and adorable read. I found myself laughing so many times when I read this book. I loved the way that everything turned out. It was such a beautiful proposal. I loved the way Donna Marchetti made me fall in love with both couples. I feel like we don’t always get details about the couple but we get to see them beyond in love with each other. That’s why they are both going through all of this. I highly recommend it!
