For Her Consideration: An Enchanting and Memorable Love Story (Out in Hollywood)

Product Information

I absolutely HATE romance books that have no real issue but create drama just because *THERE HAS TO BE SOME.* Nina is a mess. She's over thirty years old, but she acts like a teenager. She spends about half the book thinking and talking about how "queer" she is, and wondering if she looks "queer" enough, and noticing how "queer" other people are. The author was probably going for a "quirky" vibe, but she ends up hitting more "obnoxious and unstable."

No one writes delightful heroines, fresh humor and dazzling portraits of the vibrance of Los Angeles like Amy Spalding. At Her Service is everything— a nuanced, deeply felt romance, a deft social-media send-up and an unforgettable story of finding your place and yourself." If the Golden Girls were 30-something lesbians living in Los Angeles, this is that book.” – Claire Bone, Wild Sisters Book Company I loved how joyful, how thoughtful, and how real For Her Consideration was. This book made me laugh out loud, smile big, and swoon hard. Amy Spalding made me adore Nina and her friends, fall in love with Nina and Ari, and want to live in their world forever.” — Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author 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.”— Erica Ridley, New York Times bestselling author of The Perks of Loving a Wallflower Fresh, feel-good, and endlessly relatable, here is a glorious love story for the digital age and beyond.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.

LGBTQ+ representation: the majority of the characters, including secondary characters, are queer. Most of the characters with lines are cis lesbian women and a non-binary person. Some of these characters present as butch.

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. 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.” Perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Meryl Wilsner, a funny, heartwarming, and moving novel about bad breakups, found families, and embracing life. The romance was sweet and Ari was pretty fantastic. I loved that she came with some flaws, mostly how she likes to be in control, and wasn’t shown to be perfect despite that fact she’s a celebrity. This is also a single point of view. This doesn’t always work in romance for me but it worked for me this time. I never felt like we were missing out on much by not having Ari’s point of view.

eBook Details

LGBTQ+ found family: As I mentioned, this was to me the strongest part of the book, the way that Nina reconnects with her found family and figures herself out. Lawsomething that suffices to make an informal promise legally binding, usually some value given in exchange for the promise. YA novelist Spalding’s adult debut is an optimistic, empathetic choice for readers, which highlights queer women pursuing creative careers and showcases a strong emotional growth arc.” — Library Journal The love interest, Ari, was very flat. She had potential, but she spends the book having very little personality aside from being attracted to Nina. She's supposedly a famous actress (part of what drew me to this book), but her fame plays absolutely no role whatsoever. She's also obsessed with getting Nina to publish her screenplay, which was a very strange, forced plot point that only served to ruin her character even more.

Ari, on the other hand, is confident, funny, doesn't seem to take herself seriously, is caring, and great. I liked her. And Aunt Lorna was so awesome and badass and cool. Nina works from home and it suits her especially in her current mindset, this has gone on for 3 years.

Advance Praise

No, there is no need for useless drama. But the third act breakup *had* to happen. So, there you go, the most useless breakup that could've been fixed with a calm, face-to-face conversation. I get why that might be in typical heterosexual romance, but seriously, here? Useless. 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 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.” — Erica Ridley, New York Times bestselling author of The Perks of Loving a Wallflower 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. 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.
