For Her Consideration: The most charming and sexy Hollywood romantic comedy you’ll read all year!: Book 1 (Out in Hollywood)

Product Information

What I did like was that Nina’s issues were not assumed to be magically solved by having a girlfriend, and that she got therapy. That’s actually really refreshing; it always irks me when a girl who thought her whole life she was ugly and stupid believes the first boy who tells her otherwise. Amy Spalding’s For Her Consideration is full of heat and heart as Nina learns that her story just might include the kind of love that lasts. Lydia Jones and her younger sister Penny have had it with boy drama. Last year was marred by relationship disasters for both of them, threatening Lydia’s standing with her school’s theater tech club and Penny’s perfect GPA. Penny has, naturally, diagnosed the problem and prescribed a drastic solution: a summer off from boys.

If the Golden Girls were 30-something lesbians living in Los Angeles, this is that book.”– Claire Bone, Wild Sisters Book Company It took about half the book for the story to really grab me but I found myself smiling and caring about what happened to the characters a lot more in the second half. Both MCs are sweet but I kept wanting to shake Nina and while Ari seems terrific, I never really got a full sense of who she is. The secondary characters save the book for me, from Nina’s aunt and her retirement community cronies to her group of friends and even her boss and boss’s assistant. Since the story is told from Nina’s POV, it makes sense that Ari’s entourage is more blurry but also explains why I didn’t feel the character as much.I loved how joyful, how thoughtful, and how real For Her Consideration was." -- New York Times bestselling author Jasmine Guillory The whole story is told from Nina’s pov and I would have loved Ari’s pov too. Mostly because I think it would be more fun, but also because I didn’t really get what did she see in Nina. She somehow managed to see through Nina’s issues, which is really sweet, but also interesting and I was very curious about what was going on in her head.

I don't know if the sex scenes were good, because there was so little chemistry between the two characters that I couldn't bring myself to read them. Thanks to the author, Kensington, RB Media and NetGalley for the ARC. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review* Maybe it's my biased love for Los Angeles (the city and the county) and the fact that I'm in the middle of a Canadian winter, but For Her Consideration was that warm comforting hug I sometimes crave. Do you know what I mean? You know that friend who just gives the best hugs (for those of you who like hugs)? That's this book. This book was the best of all hugs. I don't care if that's weird. That's how it felt. For Her Consideration by Amy Spalding is a charming romantic comedy with two winning heroines. I especially enjoyed the strong family bonds, including a truly delightful group of friends. My heart ached at the emotional moments and I giggled aloud at all the funny parts. I loved watching Ari and Nina learn to trust themselves and each other and follow their dreams. Cute and heartfelt, For Her Consideration is a highly recommended read.” I really liked Ari in the book! She was very confidant, and was super nice and respectable from the bat. I too, did question some of her decisions in the book, but I also saw were she was coming from as an observer. I loved how she too found a family in the book. Her character was very likeable in my opinion. She was also really funny and I just liked her overall. I do want an extended epilogue to see her cat because that piece of the story was hilarious out of all things!

For Your Consideration is so many things I want in a book: funny, sexy, and super queer. Spending time in Nina and Ari's world was a joy. Amy Spalding has written a warm celebration of Los Angeles, chosen family, and learning how to love and be loved.” Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books for providing this title in exchange for an honest review!

I absolutely HATE romance books that have no real issue but create drama just because *THERE HAS TO BE SOME.* Nina frustrated me to no end; first, her level of denial was truly astonishing. Girl!! You can’t be THAT blind?? She sends you gifts, ‘be at my place tonight’ texts, she is into you!!! At Her Service offers a poignant and heartwarming look at modern love. With affirming themes of found family and self-belief, plus a sizzling romance that roars into a wildfire, prepare to fall hard for Max and Sadie! Amy Spalding is a powerhouse in romance, and At Her Service is a validating gift to the queer community.”Amy Spalding's writing will make you swoon, laugh, and fall in love with how outrageous Hollywood can be. I was rooting for Max and Sadie's achingly sweet romance, and found it hard to let go of them once I finished. At Her Service will stay with you in the best way possible!"
