I do have to say that I listened to this book as an audiobook and I am proud of myself since it was my first ever audiobook and was worried that I wouldn't get into it but I so DID! I loved Nina's job because it was so original and I don't think I've ever heard about a book with something similar to it! I enjoyed how it wasn't a full on insta-love and how they had their build up. The re- found family in this was just *chefs kiss*👩‍🍳👌 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.” —Cameron Esposito, bestselling author of Save Yourself 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. With vibrant prose, a setting that is both upscale glam and homey comfort, and a thrumming, pounding, romantic heart, For Her Consideration is pure romance magic.”

Spalding makes her adult debut with a sweet, queer contemporary that gives equal weight to familial and platonic love as to the central romance…The steady support of Nina’s chosen family alongside the seemingly inevitable romance with Ari make this a cozy comfort-read.” — Publishers Weekly For Her Consideration is incredibly funny, queer, sweet, and sexy. Anyone with a toxic ex or a serious celebrity crush will be able to relate! It's about learning to trust yourself and the people in your life, and it's guaranteed to leave you smiling and wanting to hug your chosen family very hard." - Celia Laskey countable ] something kept in mind in making a decision: Age could not be a consideration in the hiring process. Between reconnecting with her old crew and working on a new script, a relationship with a movie star seems like something she’ll definitely mess up—but what could be more worth the risk? While I did love this book, there were some frustrating moments. Nina is insecure because of a previous relationship, which I get and was very relatable. However, the fact that she took these comments from her ex and believed them so strongly just didn’t make a lot of sense to me. Her friend group knew her so well and for much longer than the ex did, and it seemed illogical that she wouldn’t have gone to them with the toxic comments. And then she responds the same way later on after a disagreement with Ari.Thanks to the author, Kensington, RB Media and NetGalley for the ARC. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review* Next to being absolutely clueless Nina excelled at self sabotage. I guess if someone convinces you that you’re toxic you actually become toxic… So Nina had assumed things would eventually go to shit, they obviously did and she didn’t try to stop them.

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. For Her Consideration” was a surprisingly good read for me and I really enjoyed it a lot. I say surprisingly only because I have never read anything by Amy Spalding before and it’s always hit or miss to read a new author. Thankfully, this was a very big hit and now I’ll definitely be on the look out for more sapphic romances from her. Fat positivity/representation: the MC is described as fat and curvy, as is one of her friends, and this is spoken of positively without ignoring the negative ways in which society views fat people.

For Her Consideration is a heartening, dishy, celebratory novel that features true-to-life queer characters—the exact kind of book I’ve longed to see flourish on bookstore and library shelves. It is an absolute delight to read and a worthy addition to the modern romantic-comedy genre." Well, I loved the cover and went in cold. It was on offer and I did not read the blurb. This is very different to anything I have read before and the cast is mainly made up with Lesbians with a few using pronouns like “They”. An optimistic, empathetic choice for readers, which highlights queer women pursuing creative careers and showcases a strong emotional growth arc.” – Library Journal I liked that Spalding wrote Nina as a flawed but curvaceous woman comfortable with her plus-size. Ari pulls her out of her comfort zone. She begins to enjoy old friendships once again after misunderstanding are cleared up. Lorna was a stand out in the side cast - all nicely fleshed out. I hoped that Nina would finish her screen play since that would tie up the storyline nicely. A bit of angst then we have a happy ending.

Ari Fox is an up and coming celeb on the radar as someone to watch. Out and proud, Ari wants to ensure that any media drops containing her name are authentic. When the two women meet we are set off in a romance with humor, food - which made me hungry and doses of social media! Oh, and don't get me started on the scene in this book where Ari takes Nina to an event for "Women in Television," then proceeds to tell her that hearing the word "women" is outdated, and that it should have been for people of "all marginalized genders." Hear that, women? You are outdated. Move aside, it's time for a marginalized penis owner to speak.

A sweetly sexy, thoroughly modern new novel about single life, social media, career goals, and making the bold move to grab your own happiness—and write your own love story. Recommended to fans of contemporary romance, gay romance, HEA, Second Chance and You've Changed tropes, Hollywood romanceWaze had told me to cut through Griffith Park, past the zoo and the Autry Museum, but I knew what a mess those intersections could be. Everyone ignored that right-lane-must-turn sign, instead jamming into the center lane at the last possible second. And even though this was as predictable as another sunny day in Los Angeles, it made me furious. Some would, in fact, would say overly furious. I know I keep complaining about third act breakups, but this one was so bizarre. They didn’t even have a proper fight; mistakes were made on both sides, they discussed them in a three minutes phone call, and that was it, they just hung up and stopped talking.🤯 How is that even possible???
