The Proposal Book Description

The Proposal is a witty, contemporary romance available at Kalimat Bookstore Online. Roxane Gay, a New York Times bestselling author, delivers a story where a public proposal goes sideways, and a sharp feminist edge drives the plot. Readers will follow freelance writer Nikole Paterson as she navigates a scoreboard proposal at a Dodgers game, a viral video, and an unexpected rescue by the charming doctor Carlos Ibarra.

The novel opens with Nik’s boyfriend demanding a grand gesture in front of 45,000 fans. Meanwhile, Nik knows saying “no” is easy, but surviving the public fallout is harder. She must confront disappointed crowds, intrusive cameras, and a social‑media storm that threatens her career. However, the chaos also creates room for self‑discovery and unexpected romance.

Throughout the book, Nik learns to rewrite her own narrative. Meanwhile, Carlos appears at the stadium, whisking her away and offering a fresh perspective on love in Los Angeles. Their rebound is filled with food, fun, and chemistry, but both must decide whether to keep the romance casual or risk deeper commitment. Therefore, the story balances humor, heat, and heartfelt moments.
