Cat's Review of Dragged To The Wedding by Andrew Grey @AndrewGreyBooks @TTCBooksandmore

The Wedding Date meets The Birdcage in this laugh-out-loud gay romantic comedy from Andrew Grey 

He’s here to slay…but will he stay?  


James Petika is living the single gay life he always wanted. A police officer in Chicago, he has a good job, good friends—and he’s two thousand miles away from his family’s expectations. He also has a problem: he needs a date for his sister’s wedding in Missoula, Montana, but his family has no idea that he’s gay, and he’d like to keep it that way.

The solution? Daniel Bonafonte aka Lala Traviata, the queen of the Chicago drag scene. Lala is the real thing: she can sing, she can dance—and she can throw more shade than a solar eclipse. One drink and plenty of dishing later, Daniel agrees to help James out and be his incognito date to the wedding.

Daniel’s drag-diva skills are put to the test right away, with the bride’s ill-fitting wedding dress, a groom who’s a danger on the dance floor and more drama than auditions for a gay men's chorus. Faking this relationship—and ignoring the very real feelings developing between them—might just be the performance of their lives.

Hi Y’all! Come in and grab a slice of wedding cake while I tell you about this book I just read.  

The title is Dragged to the Wedding by Andrew Grey.

The cover is a generic and doesn't give much away. Then I read the blurb and it really got my interest because tough cop having Togo to sister's wedding and doesn't. Want his family to know he's gay. He has to have a date. In comes Daniel/Daniella/Lala Travianta, one of Chicago s best up and coming Drag queens. Sounds like fun.

Who’s my favorite main character? Daniel/Daniella. I loved her sass but strength. How she was able to fix all the things cropping up. 

Was there another character I loved and why? I think both Holly and Margot, James; sisters.

The story has a few settings mostly I'm Missoula Montana but in the church, a dance studio, and several other places. The story is a romantic comedy, but does have some drama too.

Were there significant plot twists and turns? There are several twists and plenty of turns, this was very different than most Andrew Grey books but just as good. It had more humor but still all the warm feels you expect.

I loved the ending. It was HEA and the epilogue was super cute.

If you like romantic comedy, drag queens, coming out, forced proximity, opposite attract, fake date, men in uniform, and an allover fun romance you will love this.
