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.” —Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author the act of considering: [ uncountable ]We will give your application the consideration it deserves. I loved how joyful, how thoughtful, and how real For Her Considerationwas. 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.”

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." 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."The other thing that bothered is me the amount of drinking-and-driving on display. This is LA and, while Lyft rides are prominent in the novel, there's a lot of driving that the characters have to do, especially given where Nina lives (on the upper edges of the county). None of it felt responsible. Sure, Spalding tries to explain it away--a walk to sober up before driving, e.g., but I call bullish!t. It just felt a little irresponsible to me and I wasn't into it. 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

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! Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books for providing this title in exchange for an honest review! What weighs this book down a little on the enjoyment scale is Nina's propensity to run when things get hard, abandoning everyone except for her great aunt Lorna when things get to be too much. She's insecure and we know the reason why she's insecure early on but instead of opening up about the trauma (and the mental and emotional abuse, quite frankly), Nina holds it in. And that's real. I get that. But Nina has people in her life who show her again and again that they love her and they're there for her. So as in all romance, you're waiting for this inability to communicate to come to a head and it does. And even if it's real/understandable/true to life, it still felt tired in its way. I loved how joyful, how thoughtful, and how real For Her Consideration was.” — New York Times bestselling author Jasmine Guillory

Cute and heartfelt, For Her Consideration is a highly recommended read." - Erica Ridley 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.

This was a heart-warming, wholesome love letter to the LGBTQ+ community, with a strong theme of found family that balanced out the somewhat weaker (in my opinion) romantic plot.Waze 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 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*👩‍🍳👌 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. Perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Meryl Wilsner, a funny, heartwarming, and moving novel about bad breakups, found families, and embracing life. 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.
