I read the story and the first impression was good, but need a bit more umph to stay invested in the characters. I like the premise of the story, but I would have changed the situation around so that Alexa was attending her ex's wedding and Drew, the hot guy was the one being her fake date. The story would have stayed the same, but instead of texting she would have been on the phone with her sister moaning the fact that she didn't have a date. Of course Drew would have been checking her out and then offered to do so. In the author's version, we know that there is more to the story which is hinted at by Drew as he presented to Alexa that he is not relationship material but his old girlfriend and best friend hook up and get engaged and invite him, but he didn't want to tell her truth, which is understandable for a complete stranger. It's going to be a hot mess since they don't really know each other and to play it off for a weekend is going to be interesting.
